By design, you can't. When MS sends out a critical update, it forces a
restart. Your two choices are to turn OFF auto update, and delay till you
are ready, or run a script to intercept the dialog for logoff.
--stop_logoff.vbs--
set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
delays=12
' repeats delay 12 times (approx. an hour)

while delays > 0
while NOT shell.appactivate("Automatic Updates")
wscript.sleep 2000
wend
wscript.sleep 200
shell.appactivate("Automatic Updates")
shell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
wscript.sleep 200
shell.sendkeys "{TAB}"
wscript.sleep 200
shell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
delays=delays-1
wscript.sleep 5000
wend
wscript.quit
