FUCK YOU WINDOWS

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
If you wish to do it manually in the group policy editor (also useful if you wish to make it part of your domain policy), here's how:
Run gpedit.msc or the domain policy editor. Under Computer Configuration, browse to Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update. To help confuse you, Microsoft mixes allow and deny statementes, sometimes including double negatives to keep the number of MCSE's in demand artificially high. The option you seek is called "No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations" - it's about half way down the list. Double click it and set it to Enabled. You're done!
This works on Windows 2000 SP3 and up, XP SP1, 2, 3 , Vista , and Windows Server 2003.

that's still not a countdown, it wont just restart automatically unless you hit restart now.

even if you postpone it, that box will still come back up and wait for you to tell it to restart.

op's computer either crashed, or he hit restart now without noticing.

Look's like a countdown to me. At least that is what I got:

Yeah they changed it... however -- that registry key will still work regardless.

Instead of running lightmaps again and wasting time, its MUCH faster to bake them in 3ds max using that tool that was released earlier.

Yea, this. It took me 5 days ( SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL) and my lightmaps came out to shit because I didn't have some things set up correctly...So..I'd definitely go with baking/mental ray.

I saw a countdown on mine until a recent update.
