How do I interrupt downloads of automatic update in Windows XP?

Once the automatic updates start download, there is no way to stop them.  Nothing happens when I click on the yellow shield icon, even though I read that there should be a pause option.

Physically disconnect your computer from the internet, or simply turn it off.

    Updates automatically downloaded cannot be reused. Suggest you open the link "View update history" of the icon of the Windows Update control panel and write updates have been downloaded and installed.
    Then download and save them from the Microsoft Download Center .
    Just enter the number in the field to Search All Download Center and then click on the "magnifying glass" to start the search.
    You can also change the language and geographic location by clicking on the link edit in the top right of the page.

    At the same time, I had disabled the automatic updates of windows and updated on demand by opening windows update.  Where is the place to activate and deactivate the automatic updates of windows.

    It worked.  Thank you!

    I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.

    Thanks for posting the results of your efforts, I don't know they will be read and appreciated.

    I still say, "If you"solved"the problem of virus/malware in anything other than a wipe/regeneration - it may not be completely fixed or have still a few remaining damage that the probability of fixation is thin votes to zero.»  (In other words - I recommend a format/install). »

    Not only did I always say this, I think you have discovered that it will probably be necessary.

    You might be able to do something with SFC/scannow , or be Windows XP, possibly a repair install might fix things (if you have a Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 installation CD or can integrate a new installation CD for Windows XP SP3).

    SPACE does the work.  I then restarted the update Windows components and then successfully downloaded and installed 9 security updates.

    I understand the fact that you still recommend a format/install. Not having done it would be prudent to see how the operating system is running and if I have any further questions or you feel it is too risky on a computer used to pay bills and perform other necessary transactions. The computer is older and the cost may not be a return value.  I wait your answer before I post any other questions.  I thank you for your time and expertise.
