I don’t know. My Vista Home Premium still updates when it wants to and shuts down whether I give permission or not. It can happen at any time. I don’t know of a fix.

I haven’t encountered it with Vista. Once when I had Windows 2000 an update caused a loop of logging off/restart and I called Microsoft. They spent two hours on the phone with me and finally got it fixed. They didn’t charge because the update caused the problem.
