I will say again, if you don't want the pop-up dialog telling you to
restart, then your solution is to NOT install the updates that require a
restart.

Incorrect, since I already explained that my intent is to install updates
that require a restart but delay the restart; any other scenario is
irrelevant to my requirements (you don't know me nor what I do).

The solution, as was observed in another subthread is

net stop "Automatic Updates"

... after installing updates (manually from the web or otherwise).
Unfortunately, I have not tested this solution yet, but it sounds acceptable
enough while I wait for Microsoft to fix this with an nag opt-out option.
(And I just got an e-mail from MS saying that they'd have their devs look
into it.)
