How do I remove a download that has been downloaded but not yet installed? (Internext Explorer 8)

(Int Exp 8) file is automatically downloaded, but I don't want to install it.  How can I remove the download?

Hello Fokker99,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

I understand that Internet Explorer 8 is automatically downloaded to your computer from Windows update and that you want to remove and want to return to Internet Explorer 7.

Internet Explorer 8 is an updated version of the browser that comes with many additional features. Here is a link that will give you information about the features available in Internet Explorer 8:
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Internet-Explorer/features/faster.aspx

It is recommended that you install for your browser up to date.

However, if you still don't want to install this, there 2 ways you can try to delete the downloaded update.

All updated the download file would be saved in the folder "software Distrubution. Here are the steps to delete the downloaded update file:

1. stop the automatic updates service:

Start > Search > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2 remove the contents of the download folder:

Start > Search > (enter) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. go to the Windows Update Web site > select CUSTOM and allow complete analysis > uncheck / deselect, update the driver, and then 'hide' ("don't show me this update").

4. start the automatic updates service:

Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)

The second method would be to hide updates.

Open Control Panel
Open Security Center
Click Automatic updates
On the screen that shows set to the point in downloading, but let me choose when it is installed.
Press on apply or OK and exit

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.

  • RH2015, when using CBT to publish a subset of a research project is still the content that has been marked to not publish.

    Hi all

    I'm curious as to whether it is "By Design" or something I do...?   I have a project that is a thorough Administrator's guide.  I used the conditional tags build to block most of the administrator and Support information (server names, data graphics APIs etc.) to create a guide to the user of the application: the GUI and behavior of the app is covered with information from the back-end.

    I can publish this project to its own set of folders (Pathed \\server\share\RH_Projects\UserGuideas opposed to \\server\share\RH_Projects\AdminGuide...) when I publish and put conditional compilation and it seems to work.  The table of contents are correct and the additional information and topics do not arise in the project.  However, if I get a name of the API or a name server it pulls up the subjects that have been tagged to NOT be included in the compilation.  I see the UserGuide records research topics that I didn't when building are always moved to the output folder and wonder if there is a way to exclude these subjects for publication in the book of records?

    It seems that the problem was due to the fact that I imported a .docx file.  A theme contains a list historical revisions, graphic and table and he also had a copy of the Doc TOC.  It's questions. As the title of the document table of contents and table contents illustrations announces of and links to the content "excluded", to avoid breaking links to these topics, they have been added to the output files, but do not show up in the table of contents.  However they would be in the research because they were in the output files.

    But that didn't fix it 100%... (grrr...)

    Additional inspection (and more hair removed), I found that I had created a mapping file until I put on the information of conditional markup compilation.  Even after deletion (of the document) Table of contents and the aforementioned tables, some of the information which was to exclude was always put in the output files, was discoverable by search.  Once, I edited the map file and labeled or deleted sections links to the topics of "undesirable". I was able to get a clean build.

    So he did what I wanted now.

    NOTE: I had not created an Index or a Glossary for this project yet, but I'm sure they would have needed to be cleaned as well if I had taken the time to create them.

  • How to reset the OpenLDAP service that has been marked for deletion

    Hello
    I installed Shared Services, Essbase and planning in my PC. After installing it, I went to the services screen. I found that the OpenLDAP service was with the status 'Started' and 'Disabled'. When I try to change the status of the "Disabled" to "Automatic" or "Manual" function, I get an error "the specified service has been marked for deletion". If I tried to stop the service, the service disappears from the list of services. I am constantly confronted this question even if I tried to reinstall all the modules. Can someone tell me how I can solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    I guess after it has been marked for deletion and you restart then the service is removed?

    I don't know what version you are but to 9.3.1 again, create OpenLdap service

    Open a cmd prompt to the directory

    *\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3.1\openLDAP*

    and type: -.

  • And how does one remove Christmas lights that have been offered as a decoration for the top and shifts of the screen. They tend to hide the navigation bar.

    And how one removes the Christmas lights that have been offered as a decoration for the top and bottom of the screen. They tend to hide the navigation bar. Several days ago Firefox gave the 'dress-up' in a message.

    It seems that https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/christmas-lights/ is added as an extension, but is categorized as a character (lightweight themes). Go to tools > Modules then check extensions and themes, and then uninstall it.

    Now that the status bar is now the toolbar addons that I see those that are listed are all personas and they do not affect the toolbar addons you would also find a theme, and think that it must be very confused now that I no longer able to filter topics with a Google addons research - phooey.

    Extensions can be identified with intitle: Add - ons and have changed my research of extension add-ons accordingly.

  • How to remove an item that has been added from code?

    Hello

    I have a BorderContainer component personalized with 2 tags and 1 image.

    I added an instance of it to my code with addElement() request and now I can't make go away

    I am trying:

    for (var i: int = 0; i < numElements; i ++) {}

    If (getElementAt (i) map) {}

    If ((getElementAt (i) as Card).name.substr (0.6) == "cMover") {}

    removeElementAt (i);

    }

    }

    }

    He finds it because it happens to removeElementAt (i); but the component remains visible.

    I also tried removeElement (getElementAt (i)); no luck.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you
