How can I turn off automatic updates of windows?

Hello

You have XP that your Thread appears in Windows_XP - Windows_Update Forum at the web address?

You should only get the malicious software removal tool every month now as Support for XP ended in April.

If you do not want to get this:

Click Start > right click on my computer > click Properties > click on the "Automatic updates" tab at the top of the system than appeard Properties window > click the option box for "disable automatic updates > apply and OK your way out.»

See you soon.

Edit: just saw that you do not have XP. I typed the reply to your message to moose that you posted your second post

  • Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

    Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

    After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

    I was left with 99 Go!

    Something wrong without a doubt!

    Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

    It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

    I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

    Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

    the system is clean and that there is no virus!

    This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

    I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

    All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

    I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

    Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

    15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

    Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

    With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

    If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.

    Hi, Bob!

    I see, so mixture starts automatically as soon as you switch on your phone? It may be also that you have 'auto-update apps"enabled and the app opens when it is updated. Feel free to read this article for more information: How can I stop applications from running at startup on Android OS? and let me know if it helps.

    How can I turn off the CSS rule window?

    Please don't say 'you should really learn how to use CSS '.  I create my own CSS for many years very well without the nuisance of a pop-up window.

    Ah, I see - I don't think there is a way to stop this behavior when you are working in Design view in DW CS4. If you were still using CS3, you could deselect the "use CSS instead of HTML tags" in the General preferences category, but who went in CS4.

  • How can I turn off auto update?

    I had FF never check the value. On its own, this parameter was changed to "Check for updates but let me choose". However, the parameter is actually, "install automatically". How can I fix it? I can decide on updates all by myself.

    The change was 28 V to V 29.

    There was a previous way by going into the Options menu to turn off updates, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.

    You can set these prefs in about:config to turn off the automatic update:

    App.Update.auto - false

    App.Update.Enabled - false

    App.Update.Silent - false

  • How can I turn off automatic OCR during editing of scanned documents?

    When I use the Edit function, normally I just rearrange a few images in a scanned pdf document.  Unfortunately, clicking on the "Edit" button automatically performs OCR, which sometimes causes problems.  For example, when I'm working with is a scan of a document written by hand, the causes of OCR errors in the police, so in this case I don't want rock.

    We have already OCR a document to the will in several menus, for example to improve scans or optimize PDF, so I do not understand the need for automatic OCR forced when you change the file.  Developers must understand that OCR is not something, we always need or want.

    In the settings menu to change of scanned Document, there is an option to disable "make all editable pages', in which case only the current page is OCR' ed.  There is, however, no option to completely disable OCR, which makes no sense.

    2015-11-06_004520_.jpg

    Is it possible to turn off OCR during the use of change?

    Thank you.

  • How can I turn off automatic calculation?

    I have a large data base and file whenever I have edit or add entries, numbers to recalculate the results of the formula. As this is a large file, it requires a lot of processing power. Is there a way I can disable it? I know that Excel has this option.

    Thanks in advance!

    You can not turn it off.

    You can enter the data in another table, and then copy and paste it into the table once you have all the data that you intend to enter typed in.  In this way the recal will happen only when you paste the data

  • How can I turn off the update feature?

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop. All of a sudden, with no warning, the computer stops to install updates. I am told not to close my computer while updates are being configured. I've lost so much already (my other computers, desktops and at work, have auto-saving, so I'm not used to save constantly) and I tired. How do I disable this feature or at least get to give me a warning so I can record updates. Thank you!

    Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

  • How can I turn off automatic sign-in on gmail?

    I'm afraid that the automatic sign (which works when I search for example "www.gmail.com") is a security risk - for example if my PC were lost or stolen then someone could simply search www.gmail.com and have access to my electronic record complete. I spent half a day trying to figure out how to change that - without success, despite all my efforts. Thank you in anticipation of your help. Best wishes, JeromeODonovan (PS I use Windows Vista and Firefox 40.0)
