• How to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10

  Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.

  Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.

  Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.

  I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

  George,

  According to what you have done, it is likely the icon "Get Windows 10" to reappears.  Also, just remove the icon can't delete large files that can be downloaded to your computer to "prepare your computer for the installation of Windows 10."

  If you continue to be bothered by these effects, you can use GWX http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/ Panel

• How to stop windows 7 from automatically saving a copy of the file to the library?

  I have a desktop hp brand new high.  I installed Microsoft Office 2010.  Whenever I save a file, photo, etc, it saves a copy of the "library".  How it stop doing that?  I read about using the library and he said I could save a copy in the library, but it does it automatically.  Is there a way to stop this?  A I inadvertently set up in this way?  If I delete a file from my documents, it is removed from the library and vice versa.  From what I've read, it should be and the options, not automatic.  If you can help, please dumb it down a lot because I'm not well versed in computer talk.  Thank you very much!

  The library is in fact that index files and in showing them, not actually recording a copy I think. With Explorer open where you can see libraries, choose a category from the left such as the images pane and then right-click and choose Properties. In the window that opens, you should see your C:\ User\Pictures folder that is listed in the index. Click Select, and then click Remove. Now library should not index files. Select each category for example Documents, etc and do the same thing.

• How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

  Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

  Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

  I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

  What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

  Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

  I use Vista Home Premium

  I'm looking for a Microsoft solution for the specific problem I described, and/or advice on where post for better attention to Microsoft to "design problem".

  None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

  You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

  1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

  2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).

• How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

  I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

  Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

  Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

  Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

• How to stop Windows Update by creating temporary files on my external drives?

  Any ideas on how to tell Windows Update to stay away from my external drives?

  I have several external drives I use for backup projects, archives and collections of major media. They are connected to my laptop very irregularly and rarely more than a few hours. In recent years they have been inundated with folders with long as names d84fa74b9585277339 as the seams related to Windows Update. I think it has already started on the laptop with XP I had before this one. Sometimes I see these files on the internal hard disk, but there are theyalways disappear after some time. On external drives, I have to delete manually. On an NTFS disk partition I use for backup, it's not easy, sometimes I have to take ownership of the folder. Drives FAT32 / exFAT is easy.

  I guess people who have developed Windows Update realized that you can not trust USB or eSATA connected drives to be there when the cleaning is executed (BTW when cleanup runs it?). So I must have screwed up a setting somewhere. And I have to be very consistent in this because the same thing happens with friends and relatives, I contributed to the installation of Windows 7...

  Cheers, Willem

  2 make it a habit to unplug all external drives are not currently used.

  3. disconnect all external disks before you run a manual check of Windows updates.

  4. run Disk Cleanup every 2-3 months or more.

• How to stop windows vista automatic updates

  Whenever I connect to the internet, I get an update automatic windows vista. This drains my allowance of month for the internet in a few minutes and I can't find an option to stop the download updates automatically.

  It's cost me money, I pay to go on my internet allowance, and I can't stop it!

  See the following articles

  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off
  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates

  You should not receive updates each time you turn on the computer. Microsoft releases security updates the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am PST. No security updates may appear to be the fourth Tuesday of the month. Updates to the Windows Defender definitions are issued twice a week. Windows Security Essentials (if you have one) will be updated daily. There are occasional updates outside this cycle. You should check your update history where an update fails to install and is given several times.

• How to stop Windows 10 message upgrade?

  Hello

  I started as a Mac user and then became a Linux user. I briefly used Windows XP SP2 on a homebuilt PC several years ago, while she was underway.

  The Thinkpad T520, that I was the first PC I bought with Windows pre-installed, and at first I really liked Windows 7 Pro. I bought it for Photoshop with my digital camera and for Office 2010 for people who insisted on sending me .docx documents that do not always work correctly with other programs.

  I am generally happy with Windows 7. He did what I needed it to do and even, let me make a few things that I couldn't do in Linux, for example, I could buy a BluRay player for the expansion Bay and install software to play BluRay movies - no DRM problem.

  I have even come to prefer Bing and now use it as my default search - even on my CentOS 7 workstations engine.

  But this Windows 10 upgrade stuff is really driving me crazy, ruin the experience. Windows 7 Pro works find what I need it to do, I don't want to deal with a new user interface when the software I have works fine in the current UI.

  But Windows 7 continues to harass improves to 10. I don't want, and it feels like an invasion to an operating system that I paid for the material that I paid to serve as a marketing tool for an upgrade that I really just don't want to.

  It feels like Microsoft is trying to force me to upgrade and I feel is not like that at all.

  I use to hate Microsoft. I saw that hatred was irrational. I started to love even the company. But that, it is to bring these old feelings of anguish, and I want that darn pop level - ups to stop.

  It's my phone, I'm on the version of Windows I want to run, a version that is still in charge. Just leave me alone already.
