Okay, here's what happens. So I'm in the middle of playing Mafia II and in the middle of the game, it closes out. I assumed it was a crash, but no....

Then i see something about Windows 7 applying an update.

Anyways, my question is, how do you stop Windows 7 from interrupting you and automatically shutting down after an update?

Set your update options to "Download, and ask to install"
