  - Start the Registry Editor, and find the following key:<code>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU</code>
  - If you don't see the **WindowsUpdate** key, create it. Right-click on the "Windows" key in the sidebar and go to New > Key. Name the key WindowsUpdate, then right-click on that key and create a new one called **AU**.
  - Click on the AU key and, in the right pane, right-click on the empty space and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new DWORD **NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers**, then give it a value of 1.
  - Reboot.
