>>I definately always do a manual update, I pick something like a Saturday morning while I get a cup of coffee and just let it does it's thing. I went to this route as at some point in the past as Windows would do the reboot in like a 10 minutes or so unless you told it to postpone - then it would ask again at some point, which caused a loss of work if I happened to be away from the computer when that 10 minutes ran out..

>Yes, the postpone can be adjusted to every 4 hours so it is less annoying. But, even on every weekend would be too much. Just to reload the entire environment take a lot of time so I try to limit the reboot to between a few months, if possible.

Could you now write a batchfile to reload the environment for you? Then you could run it during the night, and when you wake up in the morning it's all set. Unless you work in the night, then you have to reboot during the day, and when you wake up in the evening, it's all set.
