HI Devan,
Yep there is a way where you can stop the reboot and set it as MANUAL REBOOT.
Here you go;
In the Windows Update setting in the Group Policy, Enable the 4th option as enabled."If the status is set to Enabled, Automatic Updates will not restart a computer automatically during a scheduled installation if a user is logged in to the computer. Instead, Automatic Updates will notify the user to restart the computer to complete the installation."
Cheers,
Athif

Subject: [ActiveDir] Reboot behavior with SUS on DC's
Hi,
I recently sent a post with regards to creating a seperate GPO for DC's to
utilize SUS and Windows Updates.
So far everything looks and works the way I want it to. The only thing I am
trying to figure out is if there is a way to auto download and schedule the
install but not reboot the system (there seems to be only one GPO setting
for controlling reboot behavior while logged on) but not when the system is
idle or left at the login prompt.
My only fear with this behavior is what happens if there is a failed reboot
or the system hangs or whatever, I would like to be able to control when the
DC is rebooted either remotely or by a local administrator (and there's
that, the org. operates in a centralized model with distributed
administration including offices overseas) so a hanged reboot may mean 8am
in Germany but 1 or 2 am in the Central Time Zone....
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
