Stopping Windows to install updates during shutdown

install-updates-and-shutdownWhen I try to shut down windows of my netbook, it just try to install updates which stops me from closing it and put it into my bag. Therefore I did some googling and found the solution.

  1. Start gpedit.msc (with run…)
  2. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component > Windows Update
  3. Change the setting of “Do not display ‘Install Updates and Shut Down’ option in Shut Down Windows dialog box” to “Enabled”
  4. Done!
