How to disable automatic driver updates
I connect my laptop to a network, every day at work. Many days windows tries to automatically update the printer drivers for a lot of printers that I don't need (and don't know even where they are). 1. How can I it stop doing that? 2. What is the best way to get rid of the dozens of defective installations that appear in Manager devices (under other devices) with an exclamation point?
Well, windows update does not install the driver updates unless you have enabled this option in the windows update settings.
But if the laptop has been provided by your operator then their implimented IT various types of update to be executed when you connect to their network.

How to disable the background update in the window 10?
Anyone know how to disable the background update or surveillance? I already turn off the window updated administrative tools and all I know which include antivirus. However, my internet speed always very slow.
My internet package comes with a slow speed and I couldn't go in the Web page when it has updated or programs using my internet connection in the background. Can I only surf the internet when there is no update in behind.
I would be grateful if anyone of you could let me know how to solve this problem. Thank you

Is Windows XP automatic Driver Update Utility Download safe to use?
Should I start the download for this automatic driver Update Utility
for Windows XP Driver Downloads that suddenly popped up on my screen? Is it safe and legitimate? This is the site web http://www.driverupdate.net/articles/xp_download/windows-xp-driver-downloads.php?aps=winXPtextsplit2. Thank you in advance, Slowbutsure :~)
Hello
The problem with the automatic driver update utilities is they will fail all ultimately and
sometimes with spectacular results (bad). So I recommend only utilities that help
determine what drivers are loaded and help find sites of the manufacturer of the device
where they are.This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
DriverView execution - Set VIEW of Microsoft drivers hide - update those without drain in their
names.-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.

How to disable automatic closing in windows 7, I leave my computer download to ngiht and it it turns off
Hello Yugo123!
Thanks for writing on the Microsoft forums.
This problem is due to the power plan that you use or the default settings. That's what you have to do.
Just look at the options where he is asked about to turn off the display device & hard. Simply change their return on the '' NEVER. ''
That's all. I hope this helps.

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.

How to disable notification of update of pacifier?
I don't want to upgrade to lollipop but I get notifications of update that makes it nearly impossible to use the unit normally how to disable you fullscreen?
If you really want to get rid of the pacifier updated notification go to "Setting" and then scroll down to 'Apps' and select it. It will take you to another screen. Since it is asking you to update, you have downloaded the update that allows you to level. Under the "Download" tab scroll down until you find "Motorola Update Services" and select it. You have three options at the top, "Force shutdown, uninstall updates and turn off. Select "disable." It will then ask "delete data and disable app? Select 'OK '. It will then ask "do you want to replace this application with the factory version? Select 'OK '. You will be asked is more upgraded. If you ever want to just upgrade allow it under the app again on the "Disabled" tab in the application menu, just slide to the right and select. Don't forget to download the update of the playstore to allow the upgrade to Lollipop in the future.
P.S. If you're on Jellybean and want to get rid of the update groups to go to settings, apps and swipe at the all find them Motorola OTA tab and uncheck this box to prevent upgrade notifications. I don't know if the candy allows you to turn it off, but it is worth it if you really don't want to upgrade.

1. using the Windows Encrypting File System (EFS) to encrypt files is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, unless you follow thebest practices of Microsoft for the use of this facility . If you encrypt the files using EFS and lose the ability to access for all sorts of reasons, you will not be able to recover the data.
2. you are track by disabling Simple file sharing. The NTFS file system uses "permissions" to control access to files. Further reading:
