Windows 7 - how to remove "Install updates and shutdown" option from the power button

How many times were you forced to quickly shutdown the computer but couldn't because Windows needed to install updates first and then shutdown?
Sometimes I just don't have time to wait for Windows 7 to install updates and then shutdown. This happens at my workplace where due to the fact that electricity stops after work hours are done I must turn off the computer before power outage. So, to get rid of this awful feature (for me) I chose a simple solution. This works by modifying an option from Windows Update Policy Settings. Here are the steps to follow:

- Open Start menu, enter gpedit.msc in the search box and launch gpedit
- go to User configuration > Administrative templates > Windows components > Windows update
- double click on Do not adjust default option to 'Install Updates and then Shut Down' in Shut Down Windows dialog box to edit option.
-after the edit window opens, click on Enable and then Apply. Close everything and you're done!
