Had to do this recently as well. Look into 'configuring group policy for windows' if you want the option 'Ask me to install updates'. Think it gives you 31 days to do it at your discretion.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 6:51 pmVPS: 16:52:03 - Your PC needs to be restarted following important updates.

I checked for updates a few days ago. I understand that restarting of Windows machines is just a fact of life, I just wish they would let you do it in your own time. I specifically clicked on the 'restart later' option and the %&*#er went and restarted 5 mins later anyway.Naffman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 8:49 pmWhen was the last time you restarted?jamesedwards wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 6:51 pmVPS: 16:52:03 - Your PC needs to be restarted following important updates.

I have adjusted my active hours to a slightly more palatable time, but the trouble is it's all auto-trading on stuff 24/7.

I just do the updates on the first day of every month.
I've never had my PC force a restart on me.

No bookies on-course last year so would expect all numbers to be up, as lads hedging from the track.Ascot this year on Betfair £25m vs £20m last year +23%
My firm lost 18k to the machine so far ..
