Turn off Windows Update restart nags using Leave Me Alone!

Windows update can be a real pain in the ass if you have set Windows to automatically install updates as soon as they’re available for download. Great if you don’t want anyone using loopholes and getting access to your files. But god save you from the constant reminders for it telling you to restart your PC. In fact every 10 minutes it will pop up a reminder until you finally decide enough is enough and restart your PC.

Brad Isaac’s free utility called Leave Me Alone! allows you to temporarily turn off the restart nag window until you actually do restart, thus allowing you to complete what you are doing and restart afterwards.

Leave Me Alone! is available for both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
