+If you decide to use automatic updates, you should lengthen (or eliminate) the "restart reminder" interval, which defaults to a mind-searingly frustrating 10 minutes.
+  * Run "gpedit.msc"
+  * Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
+  * Either enable "No auto-restart for schedule Automatic Updates installations" to turn off the nags, or set "Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations" to a larger interval (e.g. 1440 minutes = 24 hours).
