Comment Switch to battery (Score 4, Interesting) 209
If you unplug the power cord and make the laptop go to battery power, it will give up applying the rest of the updates. You'll then have to apply them the next day when you shut down.
I did that for about a week until I actually had enough time to sit there and watch it finish installing updates and shut down.
