   Permanent Method:   
   This method involves adding a specific key to the Windows Registry to   
   explicitly stop end of service (EOS) notifications. Incorrect registry   
   edits can cause system instability, so proceed with caution.   
      
   1) Open the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R.   
   2) Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.   
   3) Navigate to the following key in the left-hand pane:   
      
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.   
      
   4) If the WindowsUpdate key does not exist, right-click on the Windows   
   folder, select New > Key, and name it WindowsUpdate.   
   5) Right-click on the WindowsUpdate key, select New > Key, and name it   
   Notify.   
   6) Right-click on the new Notify key, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value,   
   and name it DiscontinueEOS.   
   7) Double-click the DiscontinueEOS value and set its Value data to 1.   
   8) Close the Registry Editor and restart your PC for the changes to take   
   effect.
