I accidentally downloaded updates (I was typing when the pop-up that new updates are available was displayed and apparently put in focus).
I did not manage to cancel the Software Updater, it is now grayed out and displaying "Please restart the computer to begin using your updated software".

Is there a way to reverse the update?
Can I have it not come in effect until a date I specify?
Can I just not restart my computer? (or will ubuntu do that anyways after some time?)

Reversing an update in Ubuntu may or may not be a trivial task. The update is now installed, and still needs some configuration on a next reboot. I recommend to reboot the computer and have the update installed. Updates that come through the software center are quite reliable and tested, and may bring significant security improvements. They will, by design of the Ubuntu release schedule, never cause your system to function differently.
