• How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

  HP pavilion D4100Y

  Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

  No error message

  No recent changes

  Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

  I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

  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 can I disable Windows security alerts?

  I'm giving 2 computers as birthday presents for 2 young grandchildren to use for word processing and printing only.  They both taught by their parents that they will never be able to have computers in their bedrooms connected to the Internet.   Both computers are running Windows XP Pro version 2002 with Service Pack 3 OS.  It's annoying to have the pop-up WARNING "is your computer may be in danger..." "whenever a computer is started, especially since the closure of the message not always keep it to appear again.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

  Hi demckay7,

  If you do not have to connect to the computer with the internet or any other devices that can infect computers, you can disable the security temporarily alert.

  For more information, see: How to disable Security Center alerts

  However, I recommend you to install security software on your computer andmake sure that you update the anti-virus software frequently so that it works correctly.

  You can also download & install Microsoft Security Essentials on your machine.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• How can I get windows xp updates for later use? What I have to do?

  I use Windows XP SP3 & Windows 7 Ultimate. How can I get updates so that I can install it even after reinstalling windows.

  I want this cause I have to reinstall Windows frequently.

  A much simpler and easier solution is to do a clean install and update and then create an image of your new installation, the next time you need to reinstall Windows you simply restore your image and update the image newly installed and then create an image update for the next installation.  There are many Imaging disc out there, many of them for free.  I prefer TeraByte Image for Windows (not free) for my imaging needs.

• How can I disable windows security as it is clashing with my AVG program

  my computer freezes constantly and very very slow, it's a Toshiba satellite laptop and the only thing I can think is that my AVG (which I really like) is in conflict with the Windows Security Center.   I looked everywhere to try and disconnect the windows one or just turn it off, but have had no success.  I hope someone out there can help please.

  This isn't probably what is causing the problems. ;-)

  (Both analysis) FULL scans for malwareMalwareBytes - FREE and SuperAntiSpyware - FREE; Assuming that the AVG Free: uninstall and download/install the latest version of it.

  Update the drivers for hardware from Toshiba.

• How to get normal Windows 7 updates without installing Windows 10?

  Hello world

  I've been a happy user of Windows 7 and have always wanted to have Microsoft warn me of updates are available for my system. I am very careful to keep them, but I want to install them manually, myself.

  Two days earlier, Windows Update started showing the Windows 10 to upgrade, as an important update and advised me to... "Start install now."

  I've been delaying this until I have decide exactly WHEN to do it, on my own terms. Is there a program that I use and that has quite developed a version of Win 10 still. I want to improve when that is developed.

  However, I am now unable to install any other updates to my Windows 7 operating system, without having to install Windows 10.

  I tried to get the optional update, which is available now, but cannot because the... "Start installation now..." Win 10 update starts automatically as soon as I decide to download the optional update.

  It is the first time this has ever happened, and it is really annoy me.

  Is it possible to continue to get Windows 7 upgrades without HAVING to install Win 10?

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  I found this and followed the instructions for the 'response '.  Make sure that you restart your computer after masking the KB3035583 update.
