When requesting help in a newsgroup or a forum, please state your full Windows version, edition, and service pack level, IE version? and perhaps what other antivirus Security suite and firewall or antimalware software you may have installed.

Turn off Automatic updates and fix/properly maintain your *own* computer. Select the "Download updates but let me choose..." setting and don't approve any updates until you're ready and willing to reboot, should the need arise. See...

Sorry I'm used to the XP fora: XP Home SP3, IE8 (seldom used because a painful slug); Avaast AV up to date: with email scanner off. I have already gone to the trouble of cancelling autoupdate, and gone through the lengthy 'manual' process 'you may get on with other things while update goes on' ha ha: 'We will pester you and pester you until you give up and turn off and reboot your pc' is what it ought to warn. Now, how do I turn off this very annoying behaviour.

Yes, already aware of that, and this update *was* manually downloaded, in the full knowledge of what was needed. Therefore it is a pain to be 'reminded' every 5 minutes, and not be given a 'don't tell me this again' option.

I think you're missing MowGreen's point: wait until you're finished working before installing the updates, so that when it wants to restart, you can say "yes" straight away. However, unless you're getting a countdown (which shouldn't be happening in the default configuration, IIRC) you can always just move the dialog off the visible part of the desktop and ignore it.
