• 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

  Hi all

  I would like to disable the automatic updates and be able to manually check for updates without it becomes a task complicated.

  The only answer I could find so far is the following: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html

  Is this the only solution? Because, in reading the notes, also seem to which would prevent me from easily control updates. Have I misunderstood?

  I absolutely need to do because when I'm at work, in my office, I have absolutely no problem connecting.

  But coming to the House, in a very rural village with a... Let's say "connecting powered-pigeons", automatic updates can become a serious problem for me.

  Thank you in advance!

  Acrobat has its own settings to update.  Open your preferences and disable the auto update.  I'm no expert, but Acrobat seems to be a strange duck in the world of CC.  Although it is part of the CC, it still seems to work more as a stand-alone product.

• 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 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)
