  Have an ASUS computer 64 laptop w/i5 processor running updates of Win7 w / all through 5/16. Update via Control Panel stopped working.

• How to remove permanently free game players out of my control panel Windows XP computer?

  I would like to know how do I permanently remove/add free game players out of my control panel (Windows XP).  I tried to get this game but it remove it from my control panel.  Your help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  I'm not familiar with the subject, what you write about, but I have a few
  thoughts anyway:

  Control Panel items are special files with the .cpl suffix, in
  \Windows\System32.

  I don't know how to identify the name of the file of the control icon
  Group of experts, but you can try glancing all objects in \windows\system32,
  Sort by type, and then look at the dates - most of them will be the same
  -those that are unchanged in relation to the date of the operating system has been issued. See if you
  spot which could be crime may file and consider renaming - if she
  is currently game.cpl, try game.cpl.bad for example.

  See if you have found the right method. If this isn't the case, rename it back and try another.

  Once you have the correct file, you can just leave it alone, or remove
  it.

• How to control the Windows updates are installed on the Windows Surface of RT

  I recently had to perform a refresh to solve the problem with desktop on the desktop icons that appear as spaces. After the update, I had to reinstall the update for Office 2013. When I went to Windows Update to do this, I found it with a group of 9 other updates, these 9 were all marked as ready for download and installation, Office 2013 update is not checked. I disabled the office 2013 update and not the other 9 updates, thinking that I could make those after I had Office installed upgrading so I would like to know if my taskbar icon problem has been resolved. At the bottom of the screen even when the Office update was the only update checked I chose to install updates. The Surface actually installed all updates, not only the update of Office.

  Is there a way to control which Windows updates are installed in fact at some point? Unchecking them made no difference.
