RE: [split] Microsoft rant
I have no idea - something post SP2 and pre SP3. Well I've set my computer up to download through the night before and this was the only time I installed updates and left it through the night so this was the only time this has happened. Unless you can suggest some other strange phenomenon for why the computer would restart, and why people would write articles on it automatically restarting such as this, (to be fair though that article doesn't explicelty state which method of Automatic Updates they use (however I strongly suspect they have it set to automatically download and install)), either you're wrong, or my computer stuffed up and restarted itself. Hmm if only I hadn't reformatted since then I could've looked at the event log. Perhaps the article I read in the first place was actually referring to automatic download/install updates...bah oh well. |

RE: [split] Microsoft rant
Our lecturer was giving a presentation the other day, and some updated installed and it asked him to reboot: It came up with a progress bar and said "5 minutes to reboot - Yes to Reboot now, No to wait". This appeared every 10 minutes or so.
I myself have never seen this dialog, but then I do have Auto-Updates set to download only...

That dialog comes up every time my computer installs some important updates

Odd, ive never had it, back in the ye old days of XP 
Vista gives you a prompt asking if you want to restart then asks when it should ask again at certain intervals to choose.

That can get very, very annoying. |
