on the automatic updates of windows

I have included my signature, so I hope he gets down.  (I'm new, not warned and have more questions/problems) so I'll start here.  I have my laptop configured to accept windows updates and I see them before I finish the download, but I was worried about running out of space on my computer and some of the things that I really don't need.  If I want with allowing them to download?   Thank you, Sylvia

You should not worry about updates that they replace the old updates that have problems either: security code, bad new features.

If you do not update your system you open yourself up to all sorts of questions, and to troubleshoot or fix the system, he will have to be updated with the latest updates.

    At the same time, I had disabled the automatic updates of windows and updated on demand by opening windows update.  Where is the place to activate and deactivate the automatic updates of windows.

    It worked.  Thank you!

    I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.

  • Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

    I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

    Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

    I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

    In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools
