  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. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

• 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 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 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...

• How to stop the automatic update to 8.0 (1?)

  Related to: installation of updates

  For awhile, I had received alerts asking when I tried installing 8.0 (or 8.1... I don't remember).  A drop down menu allowed me to select "Remind Me later".  It has happened from time to time, but was simply a minor inconvenience.  HOWEVER, recently these alerts is no longer offer me the option "Remind Me later".  My choices are 'Now,' 'One hour', 'Two Hours', etc.   The first time it appeared, I was intrigued by the absence of the previous option, but could not get control of my computer back until I got something.  So, I took 4 hours, expecting to be invited again.  Stupid thing embarks on an update in 4 hours while I was working.  I couldn't stop, so I stop it manually to my computer.  He then had to go a process to restore my previous version.

  How can I stop these propagandist automated facilities?  Not to be dramatic, but it feels a bit like my computer has a stalker!  It happened twice this morning, and I can just turn off my computer manually to stop the "recovery."  It's not ideal.

  I don't want window 8 (8.1?).  I've heard horrible things can happen.  I'm not a programmer, nor a hardware expert, so this is beyond my knowledge.  Anyone know how I can turn off, turn off, whatever, the automatic update unwelcome and unwanted?  Help me please!   «.. . for Dummies"level instructions please.  :-D
