I have about 2 dozen Windows 7 laptops set to install updates automatically (no WSUS). &nbsp;I have a few sensitive users that get frustrated every now and again when they go to restart shut down their computers and it has to install updates. &nbsp;They want to go home and have to sit and wait for the updates to install.<br />

Is there any way to have the updates install automatically while the OS is running and prompt the user to restart their computer to complete the updates....or something like that?

Laptops restarting for Windows Updates

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
