I only want to defer updates: maybe once, twice, but not three times. And given how confused windows can get: I want to do a clean reboot then install updates.

@Xalorous: So, Bryce asks "How can I do X?", and your answer is "Don't do X; it's a bad idea."? That's not an answer to the question.

I'd like to point out that forced updates are themselves neither a solution, nor a very good idea. Microsoft is the only one doing that. Android asks if you want to install an update now, or simply turn off the system. GNU Linux installs at the beck and call of the user, not to mention that it doesn't hold it captive for the installation. Mac OS X, notifies the user, but still offers the option not to update and restart/shutdown. The sheer hubris of telling your clients that there's no better way while everyone else does things better is just astounding.
