Back in the Windows XP days, there was a way of halting forced updates by killing a certain process. I had it as a simple batch file on my desktop. Every time it would come up with "your PC gets restarted in 15 minutes", I'd just double click on it and carry on undisturbed.

- V-2 10y agoI can't really argue because it was a while ago, but if I recall some of them were considered critical and you could postpone them time and time again, but not really disable them Plus I wasn't really opposed to safety updates as such, and wouldn't want to take the burden of remembering about them upon myself - it's just the arrogant, disruptive manner in which they are delivered that never sat well with me (if with anybody...)
