Stop Windows Update from Hijacking ur Shutdown Button

Have u ever been annoyed by Windows Update which blocks ur PC from being shutdown when you were just about to leave ur PC and switch it Off...
Well I have been many many times...

Is there a solution...?
Yep...there is...
Block it from blocking ur shutdown button...Hahaha...

MANUAL REG HACK
Go to Run -> type regedit -> press Enter

Go to following key->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

Add a 32-bit DWORD value called NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption with a value of 1.

No reboot should be necessary.

Now our Sleep button should be back to the way it was, but if you wanted to use the Install Updates and Shut Down option, it’s still available via the shutdown menu:

AUTOMATED REG FILE

Open Notepad-> Paste the following contents -> Save as Block.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption"=dword:00000001

OPen file and press Yes
Voila!!!!

Have Fun...!
