I recently attempted to do this while burning an Ubuntu ISO to a USB stick - the restart countdown will still progress even if the update server is off.
Shutdown -a didn't work either.
- Karunamon 14y agoThere are a couple other methods too. There's a group policy setting (that you can define on a standalone system), gpedit.msc which says "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations". There's also a registry key.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU Dword: NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers: 1
