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

• 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 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...

• How to stop Windows updates

  I don't want to not updated windows, they are not compatible with the freezer. My computer is cutting every 14 minutes to update, then the updates are erased by deepfreeze. Windows updates won't be compatible with how I customized my computer.

  Windows updates are an essential part of the maintenance of your personal computer. They ensure you have the latest, most updated version of Windows. Updates Windows also provides protection, improvements and updates to applications such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live services. Any program that prevents you from using Windows Update at all isn't worth and the developer should be reprimanded.  If you think that it should always be disabled, you must understand the consequences.

• How to stop windows auto update 8.1?

  Good so today I opened my computer and a message poped upwards and told me that windows 8.1 would be updated in a single day. I already had windows 8.1 front and I hated it! It slowed my computer down way, and nothing has worked. I couldn't install most of my drivers I needed because they were not compatible with 8.1. Most of the time when I looked for something in my menu start it took about 30 seconds for the first word to show. FPS game has also declined. I know that windows 8.1 is * and it does not work on my computer because I already installed it twice and both times I had to copy all my computer and reset it to factory settings and copy everything back and who took nearly a week for the copy of things. Now I have twice as many things and I don't want to copy all my computer and restart it copies any return which will take several days and I need my computer for school. I won't be forced to install 8.1 and it won't let me cancel the update, so in a day or next time I reboot I get Microsofts worst OS on my computer and I'm not going to tolerate that. Microsoft also do not ask me for more details on what are my issues with 8.1, because they are extremely useless because you tell me things as clean my computer but that helps forever and you already tried to tell me to clean my computer several times and its just useless. So is useful or let a member of the community help me and stay calm!

  I don't know how useful my advice will be, but I'll tell what I did and what has spent so far, just in case it is helpful at all.

  As described by everyone, today (October 21) MS. instead of sending the usual applications annoying to update, said he was ready to install 8.1 and requested I do so soon.

  "He asked several times in one morning, the first bidder to let me"install later"without a specific time mentioned, but the last time he only gave me options"Now""1 h"2 h" and 4 'h' of 'now '.

  Needless to say that I was impressed, so I tried to kill the task, with the old ctrl-alt-delete.

  No, I'm sure that surprising, defective, because this new update task apparently had precedence over such an action of the user, and would not go away.

  So without selecting an option, I hit reset and restarted to buy some time.

  To restart, I went in airplane mode (hoping to suppress his ability to communicate with the update servers and therefore not encourage to restart his annoying behavior.

  Then I went in my task scheduler and noticed the task to 8.1 day and the related, pursuing the task to update my system.

  I killed both of them: but it was not a permanent solution with all that installed it's still out there.

  So I tried to find the root of the problem: I looked back through updates.

  The only windows update recently which had everything related to the modernization of the system that I had noticed was KB2952664. This little guy had no other apparent use only for "help" upgrade in the future. "

  So I uninstalled immediately.

  I also noticed that the task above upgrade called a .exe file, called

  C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\SetupHost.exe

  It's dangerous, I know, but I have renamed it specifically this file "SetupHost.bak", so there is no way it works again without having to reinstall or at least until I know it's course.

  O, and I have disabled, of course, auto-updates of all kinds of Ms.

  It has been 2 hours so far, and I am attached to the internet well.

  Let's see if we can keep this job.

  One last comment, however. If this small task I uninstalled was the source of this:

  (1) sneaky sneaky, sly, placing through especially on a time delay, so we do not know what was causing the problem until it was too late.

  (2) how all the flavors of the miserable did they prevent the end user to have his say.

  The ironic part is that I already earn 8.1 on my other machines, but this machine was fine with 8, and that's how I intend to stay. Ramming things through on users like really disappoints me.

  Microsoft - I think I speak for many of us complain about this patch.

  Stop treating us like children.

  Even if we make the wrong decisions, they aren't OUR decisions, your.

  I prefer to be well informed and make my own decisions, even if I make a mess of things, that is in the dark and make things "for my own good."

  And informing me to make my own decision is not the same as tell me you want to do while you're doing it without worrying.

• How to stop windows defender updates to install immediately

  I have Vista SP2, fully implemented to date. Processor 3 Ghz, 2 GB ram.  I have my windows updates set to automatic at 03:00.  These always install at 03:00 or when I select Install.  The problem I have is that these Windows Defender updates install immediately as soon as my pc starts or soon there after.  They seem to be ignoring my settings of windows updates.  It really drives me crazy because I have to wait and stop what I want to do both.  Windows defender updates slow down my pc or freeze the programs sometimes while I'm trying to use the pc.  Same IE9 sometimes freezes because of them.  Sometimes, I have to restart the pc to make it work well. They scan as soon as they install and they install as soon as they are published.  They are supposed to be for help, not to make my pc use miserable.  How can I make windows defender updates obey my windows update settings?

  Have you tried to install manually instead of by means of automatic updates?

  NIS 2012 should have disabled Windows Defender when it has been installed on your Vista operating system.  You turn Windows Defender?

  What you describe as gel application hangs, looks slow performance software conflicts such as those that occur between contradictory antimalware programs.

  I no longer use Windows Defender because of the risk of conflicts and problems with MSE.  I know people who have asked for advice in the forums etc who have had similar problems that you and their options were to uninstall or disable Windows Defender or uninstall their existing such as MSE, Norton, AVG, AV program.  Uninstall Windows Defender is not necessary, eliminated the problems of error messages, etc.

  You may notice the following excerpt from:

  MSE and Windows Defender

  Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials?
  A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

  The same Council also applies to people who use NIS, and Windows Defender.

  If you want to ignore my suggestions it is certainly your option.

  If you can continue to follow this thread maybe someone else will have another suggestion for your question.

  Kind regards...
