Nlite tweak suggestion

[bledd]

Just had my pc restart on me without giving me any warning (probably because balloon tips are off) due to an update -i have updates set to automatic

any chance of adding this regtweak in where the automatic updates part of unattended section is?

new dword value called NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers in HKLM\SOFTWARE

\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU and set it to a value of 1.

this will now disable the countdown timer as long as somebody is logged in to your system. if nobody is logged in, the computer will still restart immediately

Ok seems useful.

it never stung me until last night, but it seems a valid one!

"However, this has been addressed in Service Pack 2, where Windows XP SP2 installed PCs will install the downloaded updates at the time of restarting the PC. In pre SP2 systems, this feature is not available."

Does this mean you don't have sp2 installed or maybe it was one time thing maybe you clicked yes for reboot?
