Restart behavior
Dean_Gross Another possibility you could check Dean is if you open Software Center from the start menu, on the options tab under computer maintenance, there is an option there to "automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours" if that is ticked, the updates will only automatically install outside of the indicated business hours.
Business hours are shown on the same tab further up under work information.
With our company we design our updates to not bother the users as much as we can so they will try to run overnight for a week or two and it will do any required restarts then and after that period a deadline will kick in and force the updates to install but will still prompt the user for nearly 8 hrs before forcing a restart to complete the update.
During that time the updates will also be available in software center for users who prefer to have control of when they do their updates. Software center also has a notification area icon prompt to say the updates are available if they want to install. (I would say this is what you are seeing)
Maybe just try ignoring the updates for a couple of weeks and see if they just install automatically anyway. maybe you don't actually need to do the installs yourself.
