Automatic Update Nag Screen for Reboot

How can I turn off the nag screen for rebooting when I want to finish my
original task after downloading rather than reboot on Microsoft's timetable?

Configure auto updates to notify but not install, that way you can choose when
to install

You can edit the registry on your own risk:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\win dows\Windows Update
section

You can however change the reminder frequency. To do so, simply create a
registry key named RebootRelaunchTimeout. The value that you assign to this
registry key should reflect the number of minutes that you want Windows to
wait between reminders. For example, if you wanted a reminder every half
hour, then you would set the value to 30. You can set the
RebootRelaunchTimeout registry key to use any positive integer from 1 to
1440.
Of course you also have the option of getting rid of reboot reminders
completely. To do so, create a registry key named
RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled, and set the value to 0. If you decide later
that you want to re-enable reboot reminders then just change this key's
value to 1.

Worked for me

Best regards.
