  Why did Windows using stealth tactics and install updates without permission or notice?
  It becomes a regular event, it also seems to restart in the middle of the night to set up these updates. I don't know what the intention but
  [Vista 32 bit] I returned this intrusion in the files to my PC and I always despise microsoft to decide to act like a pirate.  I'll give microsoft some time to answer this, but I expect to be as horrible as they are usually with the customer service.   So in a few weeks, I'll start to smear the name of microsoft as much as possible and sway anyone my possible to buy non-Microsoft products.

  Change how Windows installs or notifies you of updates

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

  If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

  You can change the AU for the "updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting. Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded, the updates are installed and where they are installed.

  I prefer "check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" setting.

• I've lost the ability to change fonts, use the color and size and when I try to write anyone, I can't see my mailing list and there is no send button.

  A few months ago my ability to use sizes, colors and different fonts, suddenly disappeared. These choices were always available by watching my email and I used them regularly. No one, that I had never heard such a thing happens. I left it alone until I found someone to help him. Then, a few days ago, when I clicked on 'write', two things happened. First of all, I could not transfer, answer, or even to see my email addresses collected. Second, he was no longer a place that says 'send '. My page of e-mail filled all of the screen and when I reduced, there is still no way to see my list or send. I am a novice when it comes to patches and words but, I asked people who have some experience with PC, they left mouth gaping. I contacted Fairpoint and they said that it must be a problem with Thunderbird. Most of the people I asked said they didn't not Thunderbird. It has been suggested that I have reinstall T.bird but said I could also lose on my PC. I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Jim
