yo graphics drivers crashinnn an shit

yah, windows update simply DOES NOT restart your pc automatically, even if you have them install and everything.


your shit crashed for being shitty.

if you have it set up a certain way it will give you a 5 minute countdown to restart, which is what I'm guessing happened.

I'm running XP, btw.

So don't use Windows then.

i always get a pop up that lets me either click restart now, or postpone, 5 minutes being the default postpone time.

never saw a countdown.

You can change/remove that countdown:

That's what I did because I found the automatic restart really annoying.

This is what I do to stop it. And it's really easy to remember how to do it so you don't have to look up the fix everytime you want to use it.

E: nvm, i have no idea what that is. Look to my next post for the real solution.

Actually, this is what you should do: Go to control panel, go to administrative tools, then services, then in teh list look for automatic updates, then right click it and click stop. Problem solved.
