computer restarting

hey i was just wondering how i can stop the updates from restarting my
computer when i'm away from it. after i have downloaded an update it will
tell me that my computer will restart unless i tell it to not restart and
then later on the same message will pop up again. if i am away from my
computer, the update will restart my system. so very annoying.

When you're doing updates, do updates and nothing else. Make sure you
disable your anti virus scan before you install them. Your computer is
doing something major and you're "away from the computer"!? It boggles
the mind ... and, on top of it, you complain which is so very annoying.
