I put the computer to sleep a few hours ago, just woke it up and got a message saying windows needs to restart. There were two buttons, restart now and restart later
All i did was wake it up
So.. any way i can find out whats caused this? - Obviously something somewhere has decided that it's going to do some sort of update but windows updates are turned off so clearly something a bit suspicious going on.
Tips please!

Quote from: PowerLee Are you running Microsoft Security Essentials?
Ah.. now you come to mention it, yes i am - was installed when i got the machine and i've never got shot of it.
Must have been that as it was a windows dialog not a dialog from a software vendor..

clever really don't know why the EUP didn't make them change updates to compulsory for everyone not running a vlk system really after all its the ruling was all about protecting the thicker than a plank users from those nasty dark net users ....... quite why the EUP thinks every pc users is thicker than a plank is rather bewildering though, unless of course they use themselves as the baseline for average....

I seem to recall something about gadgets being a weak point in the OS so they were being disabled by a security update

On my old pc i have had gadgets in use since 2010 and never had a problem. The only problem MS pose to me is their constant decisions to overrule customer preferences for their computers.
