Temporarily Stop Windows Update from Restarting the Computer

So lets say you are working on some stuff, copying some files, running a simulation, synthesizing a design, aaaand its late night. You then see that damn windows popup saying it will automatically restart. Drat! The temporary quick fix is to do this:

--------------------------------
Windows Vista/7: Open Start and search for cmd. Right click on the found program and click Run as administrator. Enter the command net stop "windows update" and you're good to go. Likewise, you can suspend the process with PsSuspend and the command pssuspend wuauclt.
--------------------------------
