I understand that, an know about the registry tweak. The notices are put there when the security policy mandated by our company's security team, so I am not permitted to permanently remove them. I was asking if it would be possible for the WSUS updater to deal with these types of notices automatically, so the update process when run with the restart/recover option set is truly automatic, and doesn't require someone to periodically return to machines and dismiss these notices manually if they appear.
I suspect that there is no way for a program to detect the presence of one of these notices and dismiss it under program control, so the approach would probably be to look at the registry to see if there are settings there for one of these notices. Export that section of the registry, delete them from the registry, run the updates, and then restore the backed up registry segment back into the registry.
