wrong, wrong, wrong. i don't even want to waste further typing (my arm
hurts) any further explanation to you--you are being deliberately
obtuse, or you just can't comprehend the issue.
what part of "today's update used a timer to restart my pcLeythos said:Well, you've done a good job ranting, but not explained how your
computer restarted. If you didn't have automatic updates enabled, if you
didn't apply updates manually, then you have to be saying that your
computer downloaded and installed updates and rebooted without you doing
anything at all.
Maybe if you could learn to communicate instead of rant, your message
might be clearer.
what part of "today's update used a timer to restart my pc
automatically" can't u understand? google the issue. i'm done.
you are so clueless. there is indeed a timer for some updates in vista
that will auto reboot. just because u haven't seen that happen on your
machine(s) yet, doesnt mean it isn't happening.

1. yesLeythos said:So, how come you can't answer what I asked:
1) Did the update auto install and reboot your computer?
2) Did you install the update manually and it reboot your computer?
3) Did you disable updates, not manually update it, and it installed
without auto-updates being enabled and reboot your computer?
Try answering Yes/No to each one.
oh for gawd's sakes!! you dont get it either! some updates WILL autoQiuness said:lol funny... either the restart is enforced by GPO or you have some
stupid ass 3rd party app causing the rr
you get the yellow triangle telling you to reboot nothing is done
autamatically
You agreed to it and this has been ranted about before. You don't have
to allow automatic updates - it's an OPTION YOU AGREE TOO.
oh for gawd's sakes!! you dont get it either! some updates WILL
auto reboot your vista pc. just wait.. your time will come/ when
it happens dont say i didnt warn u.
are u confused? (HINT: I know you are confused). I don't playDave said:Yes some updates do reboot your PC with a timer if your not around
to reboot and finish configuring the updates.
But you yourself said you seen the timer icon in the task bar and
you ignored it until it was to late to cancel it (2 seconds were left
on the timer, I think you said)
So what I am curious about is why your so upset you lost your
solitaire scores.
There are options for Windows updates. Type 'windows update' in the
search box of the start menu, run the program, in the left pane you
will see 'Change settings' select that option and configure how you
want updates to be handled. Granted there have been updates that
installed even with auto updates turned off but those did not reboot
your system and that topic has been covered in here already and was
almost unanimous that people were not happy.

Remember you can't argue with idiots and this newsgroup is overflowing
with idiots. I can confirm SOME updates DO go to auto install and
reboot your system without asking.
It happened to me a couple years ago and I was damn pissed-off too
because I was nearing the end of a over night render of a video I had
been working on that had been going 14 hours and was about 97%
finished. I saw the usual there's new updates or whatever it says, pop
up on the desktop, I got up to get a cup of coffee and when I came
back a couple minutes later to my horror I saw the system was just
finishing booting up. I assumed Windows (was XP) just crashed and
restarted. Bad enough. Later than night I was looking around and sure
enough the updates had installed by themselves never asking for my
permission to do it and of course I wouldn't with that much time
invested in a project knowing if I would have stopped it it would be
lost during the reboot. I DIDN'T do it, Windows did by itself.
I did follow up and finally got to talk to somebody at Microsoft and
read them the riot act explaining their moronic software just cost me
14 hours work. They naturally denied such a thing could happen at
first, the first guy handed me off to another person, then another and
FINALLY yea, some guy admitted, oops. They also said they would look
into it and get back to me. Still waiting.
The main problem with the clueless fanboy camp is most are computer
illiterate crybabies and Microsoft ass kissers then wouldn't know how
to do anything involved on their computer if their life depended on
it. They only know how to whine, bitch and try to deny every problem
anyone reports on the most absurd of all excuses... they personally
never saw it, ergo, it can't happen. What a bunch of rummies. I could
write a book on all the half-ass stupid things I've seen Windows do
over the years.
There's no timer that auto shuts down after an update. A windows pops up
and informs you that a reboot is necessary, but you can wait and do it later
at your convenience
This idiot is merely spouting FUD.

It's probably more your speed, or maybe not.
