    How can I disable the notification that "Windows Update is running and my computer may respond slower than usual" ?

    Windows Update runs regularly, it's Windows! This notification just gets in the way.

    Hi Paul, thanks for the help, however this doesn't answer my question.
    Parallels displays a popup in my Mac OS X desktop when this is happening - I want to disable that. It's perfectly fine (appreciated actually) if WU runs in the background within Windows. Please see attached.

    Dear ChrisY1, you may open Terminal.
    Execute the command:
    defaults write "com.parallels.Parallels Desktop" "ForceDisableCepQuestion" "true" and let us know how it works.

    I ran this command successfully, but I still see the windows update message, so that didn't seem to work.
    (I ran the command while Parallels was quit & the VM was shut down.. then it appeared after launching the VM)

    calcium:~ cyokum$ defaults read "com.parallels.Parallels Desktop" | grep Disable
    ForceDisableCepQuestion = true;
    calcium:~ cyokum$
