How stop my computer automatically update to Windows 8. 1

Original title: update stop

Separated from this thread.

I do not agree.  last year when I've upgraded free to 8.1 he ruined my laptop.  Fortunately I have 1 week left on my warranty and HP fixed it.  I still have problems with it.  8.1 is trying to download itself, without my permission.  Give me 1 to 4 hour options but not disengage.  I'm trying to figure out how to turn off this option.  All of the suggestions.  HP says they can't rebuild my computer again.

Sorry to hear you have a problem with the software in conflict with your update.  I would recommend when even updated. Windows 8.0 is three years old and has hundreds of known issues.  In addition, the support to the it will soon be the end and your warranty will be voided if you do not update.  You will also lose possibility to have security updates and you will be subject to vulnerabilities, risk for safety, and your information and your privacy will be at risk.  With the help of an archaic system intentionally is very ill-advised.

If you want to continue to avoid the update, I can't in good conscience recommend it.

  • How to disable the automatic updates of windows and to update on demand

    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.

  • How to turn on automatic updates in Windows XP

    Original title: my computer will not allow the update to service pack 3 windows xp, how to fix this?

    How can I activate the automatic updates?

    Windows Update no longer works unless you have at least XP Service Pack 3.

    Right-click on 'My Computer' and then select 'Properties' to determine your level of service current pack.  If you are in SP1A or SP2, you can go directly to SP3.  If you do not have the service pack or have SP1, then you must install SP2 and SP3.  You can download a stand-alone Setup for SP2 and SP3 on the following links.  Ignore the verbage on 'professionals only '.  I you hereby dub a professional...

    Change how Windows installs or notifies you of updates

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    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.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

  • Sudden appearance of error STOP C000021A after automatic update of Windows

    Everyone knows a sudden STOP errors after that update Microsoft has done for his actions in the background? I'm setting up a SL500 for a client who has crashed all of a sudden with a STOP C000021A error. This error number (and the minidump file) point about csrss.exe crashing. The machine is no longer usable in 'normal' mode but it does not start in "safe" mode A review of the microsoft update log file reports the accident happening right after that the update ran. Before I nuke XP and opt for a restore to factory (as well as reinstall/configuration) I would like to know if others have seen this happen recently.

    In response to my own question here: I managed to do that work again. It turns out that the automatic update is more or less malware Microsoft's "Office Genuine Advantage". Remember, once again, why people accept this type of behavior of a business entity... No, not only to accept but reward in continuing to do business with them. Something in the water maybe?

    Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

    Hello.

    It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

    To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
