    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install.

  • How to prevent the automatic upgrade for Windows 10

    Press reports say that Microsoft will 'soon' 10 Windows upgrade recommended for Windows 7, leading to the automatic download and installation.  I don't want that.  I have upgraded to Windows 10, then returned to 7 (leaving an extra 100 GB of something on my hard drive).  I intend to hold out until the last minute, and perhaps later.

    So, how to prevent this scheduled automatic upgrade?  Do I have to turn off updates in Windows 7 and manually review every update?  What I read who cannot help because Microsoft does not offer as much detail about the upgrades as in the past.

    Computers were a hobby for me in 1980.  After 35 years the computers are now a tool and their maintenance is a chore.  I'll learn Windows 10 when I need to and not before.  I really don't want to use 10 at home and at work 7.  When my employer upgraded, so I will.

    Hello DilbertFan,

    For the first year that Windows 10 is out, he will be free to users with a license for Windows 7 or 8.1.

    If you don't know that you do not want to update then please copy the text following that I have which is in italics below and paste it into Notepad.

    The Publisher of the registry Windows Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

    Once you have that then go ahead and save it to your desktop and save it under "block 10" or something like that. ""

    Return to your desktop and locate this file and change the extension from .txt to .reg file

    Save it, and then double-click the file. It is to modify the registry to block the upgrade of Windows 10. I use a lot.

    Thank you

  • How to prevent the automatic import of Photos

    I plugged my camera into my computer, and the pictures immediately began to import images. How can I stop this? I see nothing in the preferences to achieve this.

    When the Import Photos Panel opens, you should see a check mark in the toolbar 'Open pictures for the device'.   Clear this check box and Photos should not open again for this device (until you reformat the card).

    The automatic launch can be disabled for each camera separately.

    You can try this fix: this Terminal command allows to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos.

    • Photos of quit smoking and unplug any camera.
    • Open a Terminal and paste this command and press return:

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    • Restart the Mac. It is not necessary, but it worked for me after the reboot.

    I found this fix in a post of JadedEye ( leonie)

  • How to activate the automatic search of google for URL unknown?

    Hi, is there a way to activate the browser perform a google search, if the string entered in the address bar is not resolved?

    For example, if I type:

    I love cats

    My browser reports a fair:

    The address is not valid
    The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.

    I am aware of the notion of keyword, for example the g for google.com parameter such as:

    g I love cats

    would conduct a google search.

    But it is also possible to define something as an engine failure to search that searches just the given string whenever the address cannot be resolved?

    The keyword.enabled in subject parameter: config is true.

    I use Firefox for Linux Mint 16.0.1.

    Thank you!

    First install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset. After execution of this extension, try to read the Search the Web from the address bar

  • How to prevent the sites suggested in a new tab?

    I love the new tab that allows me to see the tiles of the sites I go to most. I used it for about a year now and I like that I can open a new tab, and most of the time, simply click on a tile to get where I want to go. However, since one month, the first tile on my page, which is usually Google - suggested sites. The first time this happened, I had already clicked on it because I'm so used to being here, Google, which really annoyed me. I went back to the new tab, removed the tile site suggested and then everything returned to normal. So, for a month now, I had to remove the first tile on my new tab page every time I opened a new tab so he could get out. Now, however, it won't go away, no matter how many times I delete it. Once he went, the first space of tile remains empty for a few seconds before putting up a new site suggested. I have searched dozens of places online for how to stop the tiles site suggested to appear in the first place, but the only one that came remotely close to answering my question was so complicated that I couldn't follow him.

    Can someone give me explicit instructions, easy to read, I hope that step by step on how do I turn off the tile site suggested on new tabs? Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I recommend that you take a look at this article that will guide you in how to disable the Sites suggested in the page tab.

    You can also "lock" a tab (like Google) to this page. A guide on how to do this can be found here.

    I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

  • How to prevent the Automatic Conversion of TIMESTAMP Format column (0) WITH ZONE VARCHAR2

    Hello

    I created a view of my table and columns with the date format is automatically converted to varchar type...

    How can I avoid this?

    Create view V_T2 as

    Select

    MAX (DECODE (RESULT_TYPE, THE FROM ', DECODE (BACKUP_LEVEL_ID, 'F', LAST_START, NULL), NULL)) LAST_SUCCESS_FULL_START,.

    MAX LAST_SUCCESS_INC_START (DECODE (RESULT_TYPE,' TO DECODE (BACKUP_LEVEL_ID, 'F', NULL, LAST_START), NULL))

    of backup_log;

    the first 'LAST_SUCCESS_FULL_START' column format remains TIMESTAMP (0) WITH ZONE SCHEDULE, but the other changes to VARCHAR.

    the LAST_START column in my table in the source format is also TIMESTAMP (0) WITH ZONE SCHEDULE.

    Thank you for helping me.

    of backup_log;

    The NULL value is treated as a VARCHAR2 since she does not have a real data type.

    Try to CAST as the appropriate data type.

    cast( null as timestamp(0) with time zone)

  • How to prevent the creation of 15000 files for 300 MB each day Firefox

    Firefox creates files of 'file' in C:\Users\LeRicain\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dnm04rk5.default\cache2
    There are about 10,000 and 20,000 files I have to remove to get about 300 MB of space each day

    How to prevent the creation of these files in Firefox

    Here are the files from cache. Basically, it takes Web sites that access you a lot and records bits of them so they'll load faster the next time you visit them. FOR EXAMPLE if you visit Google.com much, Firefox will save some elements of this page in the cache so that the next time visit you Google.com, it will not have to re - download.
