How to stop Windows from asking you to restart after an update

After successfully updating Windows, the operating system will almost always require a restart. This required restart is presented to you in the form of a dialog box that has no close button! This can be extremely annoying especially if you plan to restart at a later time

Luckily with a simple command we can disable this dialog box. Here's how:

*Click -> Run (This opens the Run dialog box)
*cmd and press Enter (This brings up the Command Prompt window)
* the command sc stop wuauserv

This command stops the service responsible for the popup that asks if you want to restart now or later.
