Can I stop a downloaded update to install when I shut down my computer?
My setting of update "Download updates but let me choose whether to install" I want to keep it this way. Lately, I noticed that when I click Start, stop, there is a small yellow exclamation point or shield on the close button and when you hoover over closed, he says that Windows will install the updates and then stop. It doesn't give you a choice.
Is it possible to stop without having to install the update until you know what the update is all about, that might not be immediately. Can go you to Windows Update and hide the update, that would be a pain in the neck, if there is more than one?
Or is it somehow a way to get rid of this or these until you are able to check and see what the update or updates are on?
Thank you

No, they are not... By clicking on the updates hidden restore opens ONLY the 'Quarentine', where they are seated. :-)
Then you choose what was updated, you want to install, by marking and click Restore... Sorry - my Windows 7 is Danish, but I hope, you understand it anyway:
I have a LOT of optional updates and recommended in my 'Quarentine', as you can see...
"Valgfri" = optional
"Anbefalet" recommended =

Dakota,
If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Update-Error-80070002

Hi jjackbcop,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.
I understand that you are facing the issue with windows updates offer several times over and over again.
Method 1:
I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.
Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

In the earlier version, at the exit, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 is not that. It loses my tabs, so when I open a new session I starts from scratch rather than where I left.
You have no need say Firefox in advance to save tabs. You are always able to further define Firefox to open it from the last set of tabs instead of the home page.
Firefox will now normally also offer to reopen the last set of tabs by a button in the middle of the default start page, otherwise you can use the tab 'History', available in the "firefox" button

Win XP Pro will download updates but install fails
I have a problem with win xp pro. When I download updates they will download but the installation fails. At the same time when I would shut down the computer, it would be the installation of the updates. Now she even won't do it. Is the a link to the updates, where I can download updates and install them manually? I think I did it once but I forgot to bookmark the link. Now all I get is there is no update available. I have the auto download and install settings, so I don't know if I'll keep updating the value. Is there a way to check my updates are up-to-date. Also, I ran fixit and he could not solve the problem. Thanks in advance
