dnzg: Win8 advanced skill to install the update immediately prompted to restart

Author: Song Jie
when you use Windows 8 probably noticed a problem when there are updates patch prompts obvious (there is only text in the login screen Tip), after installing the important update, it will not pop up a prompt asking for an immediate restart. Instead, the login screen tells you that it will restart after 3 days to complete the update installation. This less obvious hint often leads to a lag in patch installation, perhaps when you notice the text prompt, either the patch has been released for a few days, or it has reached the system-defined restart time.
I often ignore the restart after the patch is installed
For the desktop, I can also see the "Update and Restart" prompt when shutting down. If it is a notebook user, it usually does not shut down (directly If you close the screen and let the system sleep, you will be able to restart the update patch in time.
You can know if there is an update when you shut down. So we need some means of solution.
Some time ago, Xiaobian once introduced a small tool to help you get the Windows8 update in time (click here for details). What will be described today is how to compare the first time after the Windows 8 installation update. The way to inform us to restart the computer to complete the update.
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.
You need to install this update first
You need to modify the registry file after installing this update.
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.
Change this value to 1
4. Double-click the DWORD and change its value data to “1”.
5, close the registry editor after completion and restart the computer.
After the modification, every time Win8 installs important updates, it will pop up a 15-minute countdown restart notification, and no longer need to wait for 3 days to notify you. If you don't need to pop up the notification immediately, change the above registry value to 0 to restore to the default setting.
