Auto update turned on by itself and updated my computer without authorization

Hello

I do not know how to start, then I'll explain my situation... I run a server for an independent game called on one of my computers has installed Windows XP Pro. I found, after much trial and error that the server does not run if I install updates for Windows XP before installing the server (Freelancer). My theory is that one or more of the updates degraded with the DirectPlay 8 server that is part of Freelancer. To avoid problems with getting the server works, I as an administrator has decided to forego ANY update Windows XP so that the server has no problems running 24/7. I made sure the computer gets no updates at all, so I was surprised last night when my server closed and restarted around 02:00 (the server resides in my room) I got up and verified why it shut down and that's... My computer is about to receive the updates AUTOMATICALLY! I NEVER put my computers to receive updates automatically, and if I do, I put it so the computer has to ASK me whether I want to update, and this particular computer has been set to not to receive updates.

My question is: How did this happen?

P.S. I have run two separate networks out of a modem single cable with router D - Link DIR-615 (Wired)

Welcome & thank you for your comments.

    Have you checked to see if the computer is overheating all in game.  Games is intense and can cause a heat.  This can certainly cause the computer to reboot unexpectedly.  There are many FREE programs that you can use to check the time.

    Thanks for the tip I will load CPUZ and check the temperature which would be the specs of temp on this one

  • Downloaded SP3 of XP on a USB to update XP computer without internet connection, computer, failed to read the iso file?

    I downloaded the SP3 of XP on a USB to update an XP computer that is not connected to the internet.  The computer cannot read the file, any suggestions on a download that will help you... the file is a. ISO file

    Hello

    Install SP3 by downloading and running from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    You can ignore the text which says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text informing Windows/Microsoft Update If a single update of a PC.

    It is an executable file (.exe) that must just run and install, i.e., it is not an iso file that will be used to create a CD which included the executable.

    Just like the iso file, it can be saved to a Flash DRIVE on another PC before running on the PC to update.

    So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

  • I forgot the password to my old computer admin, and he has 1 account to it. What can I do to cross it and unlock my computer without drop kick to it through my 3rd floor balcony window lmao.

    Although even I have now a new computer, still I'd like having my old 1 as a back-up if this 1 crashes ever, there is only 1 account on it and I forgot the password of admin for it. I tried to restart it in safe mode if all goes well to bypass the password admin start-up section, but surprise! always had a password and when I type the password reset link under the password box that he told me that I need a password reset disk where can I get 1 of them and I can get very cheap 1 because I am disabled and cannot work more:(si im limité sur combien dépenser chaque mois.) It also requires a USB and not a disc, the brand and the model is an Acer Aspire 5610 with windows vista home premium.

    Hello DOWG pepper,.

    Unfortunately Microsoft forbids us to give instructions on how to work around/hack admin password. There are ways, but we are not allowed to disclose. As this is an old PC, maybe the best thing for you to do is re - install windows on this computer.

    On the reset disk, you will need to create one of these yourself by opening the control panel and clcikcing on user account icon. In user accounts, look to the left of the window and you will see a list of tasks. The first is create a reset disk.

  • Windows 7 - CAPI2 and root certificates auto update (error 4107)

    Hi - I get this error as well (full text below) - I searched for all possible combinations of words to try to find and answer this question - I turned CAPI2 loging but the results help really - I have tried almost every fix listed but with no improvement.

    The heart of the problem I see is that Microsoft has released a file damaged or unusable .stl otherwise - and nobody seems to be willing to give a clear answer as to what to do on this subject - confusing, CAPI2 error is that the certificate is outside its period of validity, however, if indeed, you download and extract it file the given error is that the certificate used to sign the .stl file is not valid for the requested use - that is MS as the timestamps look right to me!

    For the record, I'm under Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit with IE8

  • How to install a driver after you turn off the auto-update

    I disabled auto-update Windows Update drivers by following the instructions in the following article:

    It was due to the update of Windows Installer drivers on top of my existing bluetooth drivers and prevent the unit to work. I had to reinstall Windows to solve this, UN-installing then the installation of the Dell printer drivers did not work.
    I just bought a Freecom 2 to drive that connects via eSATA. Unfortunately, the instructions say that I don't need to install drivers because Windows will do it automatically! Ugh.
    I am reluctant to turn to the auto-update as it will probably destroy bluetooth again. So the question is: How can I install Freecom drivers and the problem of bluetooth do not breed take the risk?
    Note: Looking at the dialog box "want you Windows to download the driver software? ' there is an option to" install the driver software from Windows Update if it does not appear on my computer.
    Well well... driver Dell bluetooth software is on my computer (the software to install, it is on my C: drive and it is also installed) so not preventing him to get the version of Windows Update? I am concerned about the confidence that, given that the driver has been installed also the last time he downloaded the MS driver (although the auto-update feature was turned on at that time here). I'm afraid to think that the Dell driver's oldest (who is) and so he gets crushed.
    Thanks in advance.

    "the fact that the manual says that he needs a driver to be"automatically installed by the operating system"suggests that... he needs Windows Update."

    (1) while I don't have an external HARD drive in a box I have a case of a slot for external e-SATA replaceable hot which is about the same as a commercial external HDD, but without the box.
    When I plug in a HARD drive into the slot in Windows automatically detects the drive.
    Windows should automatically install the drivers for basic/generic for most of the devices when it detects something new just to be attached/connected. Once Windows did, this 'device' must be posted from there on.
    This is not the same thing as let the Windows updates to install the drivers.

    So, when you plug in the external hard drive on e-SATA port, the first time Windows pops up a similar message to-"new device detected... the driver installation, you can check if the device is detected and drivers are installed by going to computer management > Device Manager to see if your external HARD drive is on the list of hard drives."
    If non - R / click on hard drives and click "search physical changes.
    There is also an option here to update the drivers.

    You are quite correct disable optional updates.
    It is not a recommended option, especially for the graphics drivers and chipset.
    Personally, if the mfg of the material provides drivers on their website always download and install the drivers manually.
    As a result of that it is prudent to updated Windows configuration only updates are available so you can choose which you want to install and choose to install it on your own time inform.
    This way you can close applications and browsers and better to avoid the possibility of corruption updated leaving the priority update. It is also
    more course with a clean install of Windows to start with sp1, and then do the other updates in small batches.

    2. when the HARD drive is connected and recognized in the Device Manager are moving
    for the computer management > disk management. This shows the good
    for HARD drive capacity?
    If the HARD drive has only a small partition and unallocated space that is perhaps why only a small capacity is shown elsewhere.  You can format the HARD drive and
    create a new Partition or Partitions here.

    "b if I uninstall/remove device, then as soon as I tried to install the driver from the manufacturer it seemed to install ok, but... still bluetooth didn't work." It simply detects all devices everything I tried. »

    Have you tried the fix .NET? .NET can be damaged and should be
    updated in all cases.
    It's been awhile, so I don't remember why (safety improvement?) but I uninstalled .NET and reinstalled with. NET4.

    Chrome works very well. Everything else is fine. Firefox had no problem until it auto update last night. I can't submit a crash report because every time he asks me I say Yes and then he tells me 'problem presentation report '.

    This looks like a problem with the NVIDIA Network Access Manager.
