How to restart the Win8 patch immediately after it is updated

  
Friends who use Win8 system do not know if they have noticed that whenever Win8 updates the patch, it will not pop up the request to restart immediately after it is automatically installed. Instead, it will tell you to restart after 3 days on the login screen to complete the important update. installation. This usually leads to a delay in patch installation. Maybe when the patch prompts you have been posted for several days, how can we restart the Win8 patch as soon as it is updated? Let's teach this tip today. for everyone.

If you are using a desktop computer, you can also see the "Update and Restart" prompt when you shut down. If you are a notebook user, you usually don't shut down (close the screen and let the system sleep.) If it is, it is even easier to restart the update patch in time. So we need some means of solution.

Before the operation, our Win8 system needs to update a patch first: KB2822241. This patch was released last week. If there is nothing unexpected, you should have already patched this patch. If not, check the update directly through the Win8 update.

After installing this update, you need to modify the registry file.
1, press [Win+R] to start the "Run" box, enter regedit to run the registry editor;
2, locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WindowsUpdate\\AU; Br>Note: If you do not have WindowsUpdate and AU, you need to create these two items manually.
3, in the right panel of the AU item, find "AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime", if not, also manually create a DWORD and rename it.

4. Double-click this DWORD and change its value data to “1”.
5, close the registry editor after completion and restart the computer.
Of course, we can also understand why the update patch hints for Windows are extremely inconspicuous. From the perspective of the user, the user is less likely to experience less interference in the system update. So after the modification, every time Win8 installs the important update, it will pop up the 15-minute countdown restart notification immediately, instead of waiting for 3 days to notify you, but if you don't need to pop up the notification immediately, just put the above registry value. Change to 0 to revert to the default settings. After learning this little trick, you can be sure that our computers are always up-to-date without being disrupted by various vulnerabilities.
