How can I get rid of the annoying windows' automatic update needs reboot popup as non-admin?

Question

While this answer may help if you're an admin, it doesn't help at work. So is there a way to get rid of this message without having to bother your admin?

Solution 1

This is just a workaround:

Get ClickOff which you can install (e.g. in your home folder) and put to autorun as non-admin. When that stupid popup apears for the next time, move your mouse over the "later"-button but instead of clicking push Ctrl-Alt-D. From now on every time this plague reappears, ClickOff will automatically click on "later" for you. Unfortunately this way one may still lose keyboard focus every now and then.

Solution 2

Just another workaround:

Move the popup completely to the right bottom corner, so that you see only a small part of it (at worst, it will hide a bit of the hour/date).

This way, it won't be disturbing even if on top, and because it is already open, it won't pop up anymore for this session.

+1 I did that before. As an addition, moving it behind the task bar and then clicking on the very same hides the windows if the task bar is checked to be on top, too. IIRC it still steals focus every now and then that way though

sorry, as I mentioned I need a solution which does not require Administrator privileges

Sorry, but you missed the part about non-admin
