• How to disable windows update

  I went into Control Panel and disabled all the possible options in windows update but my computer is always updated and there is no way once to update to say later update instead it says save what you do because we're not going to update your computer. It is VERY annoying because I use my computer at all hours of the day and won't tell me when to upgrade my computer by turning off my computer and forcing me to update windows. is it possible to disable this option, because if there is not a way to disable the update of windows I have to switch to an OS that has a bit more freedom, then this OS.

• How to disable windows update auto update the driver for that particular device

  I have a MacBook air (13 inch, mid-2012)
  I had already used a thing of Apple called "bootcamp" to partition the hard drive. Boot camp also allows you to assign which os is used with starting the computer.

  Win 8 has been installed using an iso of Windows 8 and Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVD Tool to create a bootable USB key.
  That all worked. but there is no drivers as one might expect. If the video was VGA and there was no sound, etc.
  I downloaded a zip file containing all the drivers and an installer or install the program from apple.
  BootCamp5.0.5033.zip
  I ran the installer and everything was installed and worked. He couldn't believe my luck. I've now had about pain free installed win 8.

  But a frustrating problem has developed.

  Every day or so my external screen connected by a mini display port adapter stops working. I restore the
  pilot and it starts to work. So I guess that put automatic catch up and install a new driver. It does not work, I do this back and the cycle repeats. But... why...

  I see all over the internet means to stop windows auto update all together, but this isn't what I want.

  That is the question:
  Can someone help me to tell windows update doesn't auto not only the video driver?

  Here is some info in case it would be useful to you gurus
  This driver works:
  Graphics card Intel (r) HD 4000 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.2)
  Driver provider: Intel Corporation
  Driver date: 26/05/2012
  Driver version: 9.17.10. 2768
  Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

  This driver does NOT work:
  GPU Intel(r) HD 4000
  Driver provider: Intel Corporation
  Driver date: 12/12/2012
  Driver version: 9.17.10. 2932
  Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
  Device Manager > display... > events tab

  A waste of time this as frustrating. Now how to force it to never automatically updated only the video driver.

  Hello

  You can not disable the automatic update to a specific device.

  However, you can take control and disable the AutoUpdate for all hardware devices, which is the best option.

  Press the Windows key + X to display the System menu , and then click Control Panel.

  Select devices and printers.

  In the top section, click on icon with the name of the computer and select the Settings of Installation of the device.

  In the settings window, select No, let me choose what to do and never install driver software from Windows Update.

  Click the save changes button.

  This will prevent the hardware drivers installed by Windows Update. You will receive still all the other updates to Windows as usual.

  If a piece of hardware should be updated in the future, you can just go the site of manufacturers of equipment and download/install the latest driver or reverse these options and get the driver from Windows Update.

• 10 disabling Windows Update

  I clicked on the popup menu of the taskbar that I don't want to update to Windows 10, but it seems that he finally pushed into my automatic updates.  I tried to hide the update because it has not been marked important but optional. After doing this, it immediately comes to the automatic update a few minutes.

  Is it possible to get rid of the option of updating Windows 10 entirely?

  To be honest, probably not.  Microsoft pushes the upgrade on several windows updates and will continue harass people until they do

  When I realized that my Windows 7 was not updated as usual on my Pavilion P6-2100, I found that at least one of the files associated with the software update was missing in the area of abuse.  I was going to do a refresh of the system and then found that the recovery files in drive d: had been erased.  Googling the problem indicated that the problem was caused by a virus.  It seems to have other problems, except that Windows 7 is not updated.  (I hope that's the only problem).  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• Windows Update disables competing anti-virus programs

  I use Norton anti-virus for nearly a decade.  For this reason, I have not installed Windows Security, as it is in conflict.  I do every week a routine Windows Update.  Two nights ago, it looks like Windows Update automatically installed Windows security without my permission.  This has created a huge conflict with Norton anti-virus, various alerts of infection appeared and my network of connections have been disabled.  I had no choice but to do a system restore and disable Windows Update altogether.  I want to update Windows for occasional useful bugfixes, but cannot take the risk of extreme hassle of security of Windows being installed without my permission.  Any ideas?

  So far, the system restore and the sweet Norton seems to have fixed.  But he was mean.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

  IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs or updates to IE AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• How to disable Windows Live updates

  I recently switched from a mac to an Asus laptop.

  Hi Tedwards78,

  Windows updates are important for your safety and reliability of computers. Microsoft does not recommend disabling updates.

  You can hide some updates which you don't want to install but, disable windows update is not wise.

  These links could be useful.

• Windows Update was disabled by your system administrator

  I was playing with a system configuration utility and decided that I didn't like it so I uninstalled. Several days passed before I noticed something wrong. Now my Update window buttons are missing from start / all programs/windows update and Internet explore/tools/windows update. When I do a windows update, I get a message error "windows update was disabled by your system administrator. If I set the automatic update, it works fine. I preferred to do windows update manually, so it don't interrupt me wile I do something. I've been in contact with the software support and they tell me to do the antivirus scans. I ran malwarebytes, found nothing. Kaspersky found some problems and clean. I've been in touch with tech Kaspersky forum and they give me a certificate of good health. No two seem to be much help to solve the problem.  I can't know this, but I think not what what Kaspersky found in my firefox cache caused this. Can you help me solve this problem?

• Satellite P300-1EI - hangs upward after Windows Update

  After update to Windows Installer the last update (27/12/08), Windows Vista always hangs up on the screen "Please wait" after the reboot.

  After the call to Toshiba support, I was told that it was advisable to do a full restore from the HARD drive and disable Windows Update.

  Y at - it a patch/update driver/firmware to fix this problem and be able to activate Windows Update?

  Hello!

  It s unclear not for me it's such a program or patch available for this program.

  What you can do is to start in safe mode and remove the update.
  If you have no success, I agree with the support from Toshiba. You must perform a HARD drive recovery. Press F8 at startup, choose 'Repair your computer' and follow the instructions in the menu

  Good bye

• Satellite L750/755 - no connection after Windows updates

  HI, I have a brand new L750/755. network card is atheros.

  There is no way to connect to the internet after you install updates to windows (85Mo, framework 3.5.1 security updates).

  Computer laptop will always find any accesspoints, but connect only with limited connectivity or no internet access.

  I had to restore the laptop before the updates installed to solve this problem.

  How can I work around this problem, or if not how can I get these updates to stop installing on close?

  Thanks in advance

  PS I had already tried installin the latest NIC drivers, change the power settings and connections to all other routers. nothing has worked.

  > I had to restore the laptop before the updates installed to solve this problem.
  Do this and after having done this only automatic disabling Windows update. When you manually do Windows update, install important updates only. Before you begin to update the optional check listed and disable updates updates of pilot.
