That is not true. There is a group policy to disable updates. I know, because I have to run updates by hand on my work computer, otherwise I stay months behind on security patches.

Stop spreading lies. It does work. (I also have hot had ads in Windows on all Windows machines I own. But this is a Microsoft product, which always raises these long list of myths.)

First, I said rebooting, not disabling updates.

Instead of name-calling, maybe post the group policy here that allows you to never reboot after updating.

Updates requiring reboot are not applied unless you reboot... so don't apply updates requiring reboot? It's useless to install them if you refuse to reboot. You can't have it both ways.

So the solution, as I said, is to not install these updates. (Or reboot, but you say you don't want reboots.)
