Stop that annoying Restart Now - Restart Later dialog

Stop that annoying
Restart Now / Restart Later
dialog
Here's a terrific tip from a colleague:
When Windows performs automatic updates on your computer, it will prompt you for a restart in the way of a dialog. Answering
Restart Later
will simply re-open the same dialog a few minutes later. To set the time between re-prompts with automatic and scheduled installations, try this:
From the
Start > Run
menu, or from a command window, key-in
gpedit.msc
This will open the Group Policy Editor for your machine.
On the left side of the Group Policy dialog, drill down to:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
On the right side locate and double-click
Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations
Change the status to
Enabled
and enter a suitable time such as 120 minutes.
Press OK to accept the changes and close the Group Policy dialog.
