Preventing Windows Automatic Update Reboot

IT Dojo on Tech Republic has a challenge that has some very interesting solutions to preventing Windows from trying to automatically reboot after an update. Handy, if your working on a project and do not wish to be interupted.
The user manually reboots the computer when ready.

I chose a method as such:

Run the command gpedit.msc. Press Windows key + R to do this.

In the folder tree, select

Double-click the setting

Enable the setting and select OK.

Addendem: This did not work for me. It still prompts the user to reboot. Wasn't a critical thing for me anyway.
