1. There’s a drop=down menu in that window where you can tell it to remind you in 1 hour or 4 hours. 10 minutes is just the annoying default.

   • There is not, sadly. it says “Automatic updates” at the top, and there are two buttons: Restart Now and Restart Later. No drop-downs at all.

     • That’s weird. Mine says “restart [drop-down menu] later”. I wonder if it’s a setting somewhere in options you can fiddle with?

     • I get that same thing on my work machines. Extremely annoying. No, I don’t want to restart now. I’m working. And then if I leave it unwatched for too long, it goes ahead and restarts on its own. What the hell? Back off, man. Did I mention I WAS WORKING ON THAT?

     • Here’s a thing that tells you how to go about it. I don’t know if it will work if you don’t have administrator privileges tho. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/prevent-windows-update-from-forcibly-rebooting-your-computer/

2. Windows could at least mix it up a little with things like “HOW ‘BOUT NOW?”
