Windows Update NoNag

Most advanced users, sysadmins and developers that I know are extremely pissed off by the looping nag-screen that Windows Update shows after you install updates.

a bright example of an anti-feature
Although I have found online countless explanations about how to disable the above bastard dialog, they never worked quite well for me.

Since I am a developer, I switched to heavy artillery:

You can grab the binary directly from here:

https://github.com/neagix/misc/raw/master/WindowsUpdateNoNag/WindowsUpdateNoNag-AnyCpu-1.0-binary.zip

Right after you see that lovely dialog again, run this with Administrator privileges.
NOTE: this tool will disable it only till your next windows update
