Stop the automatic updates.
I won't use Firefox 29 or newer to the interface introduced v29 shit it's user friendly and bring some missing thing the v28 (they may be survivals of an older profile), no. Restorer Classic theme does not bring them back.
The above is here simply to try to stop suggestions on the use of v29
I tried to go into the menu options Firefox > Options > advanced > never search for updates, but this does not prevent updates.
I had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today, each time after he said to "never check updates."
Not to start a war here, but Mozilla won't return to the entire user interface that they spent 2 years working on. That would be a downgrade to them. Mozilla is all pushing forward. Some users may the hate, but it's that there are other alternatives such as the Restorer of classic theme for people who dislike the design Australis.
There is a way to disable updates by going through the menu Options, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.
2 methods here, pick a.
You can set these prefs in about:config to turn off the automatic update:
App.Update.auto - false
App.Update.Enabled - false
App.Update.Silent - false
Or you can use this method to do it for you:
You can create a new file in a text editor (default values are: Notepad of Windows, TextEdit for Mac and Linux text editor) called user.js . When you save user.js, is ensure that it's file type is all FILES like leaving as it's going to add the extension .txt (user.js.txt) and it will not work. Place this file in your profile folder. See link below to find out how to access the file
After you create the folder, simply add the following to your user.js file, save and close, restart Firefox
// turn off application updates:
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

First of all, I need to know how to stop the automatic updates, second how to replace him "you can't run this program on this pc? I SWEAR THAT IF HE SAID THAT HE AGAIN THAT I WILL BREAK IT INTO PIECES. Then I'll go buy an android tablet. Surface, hate hate 8
Yes running of programs that are not on the store is not possible. It is not a parameter or artificial, it's just that the RT line uses what is called an ARM chipset, also known as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Chip). Literally, he cannot read the compiled code of complete programs. Same reason you can't run Adobe Photoshop on an iPhone, just CPU cannot decode the program. But on the good side of things, it cannot launch virus either, so he made the first version of Windows that cannot get 'gunked up' over time. It works like an iPad and have a continuous and consistent performance for a lifetime. I'm sad that they abandoned it so fast, I know a lot of people who could use this service.
Anyway, you can skip the connection at startup. There is in fact in two ways. Unless you do a lot of "full stops", I recommend enter Power Options and setting by turning off the "password required when you wake up sleep." Which will remove the requirement for password of sleep/wake, but if the device never complete a boot will always be a password. This is a good compromise for safety and security, so if the device is lost or stolen, it eventually crashes when the battery is dead.
But if you want to delete this, you should be able to do it by running the command NETPLWIZ, as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOYmY-6Wd3Y

How to stop the automatic update to 8.0 (1?)
Related to: installation of updates
For awhile, I had received alerts asking when I tried installing 8.0 (or 8.1... I don't remember). A drop down menu allowed me to select "Remind Me later". It has happened from time to time, but was simply a minor inconvenience. HOWEVER, recently these alerts is no longer offer me the option "Remind Me later". My choices are 'Now,' 'One hour', 'Two Hours', etc. The first time it appeared, I was intrigued by the absence of the previous option, but could not get control of my computer back until I got something. So, I took 4 hours, expecting to be invited again. Stupid thing embarks on an update in 4 hours while I was working. I couldn't stop, so I stop it manually to my computer. He then had to go a process to restore my previous version.
How can I stop these propagandist automated facilities? Not to be dramatic, but it feels a bit like my computer has a stalker! It happened twice this morning, and I can just turn off my computer manually to stop the "recovery." It's not ideal.
I don't want window 8 (8.1?). I've heard horrible things can happen. I'm not a programmer, nor a hardware expert, so this is beyond my knowledge. Anyone know how I can turn off, turn off, whatever, the automatic update unwelcome and unwanted? Help me please! «.. . for Dummies"level instructions please. :-D

Stop the automatic download of system
Apple please STOP the automatic download of data.
We poor in the real world do not have access to FREE always on WiFi. Some are on very expensive sat links to their ship (and just got a warning written for misuse of data) or in deserts (somewhere that doesn't have 3 starbux in 100 mtrs).
End result is we the poor are poor and annoyed with Apple.
When you offer a button that says "stop the automatic update" Please everything including.
At the same time until APPLE wake up is of anyway to stop this stupidity eat data?
Oh and I love when you do a search for "ios 9 automatic download makes me angry" in the research community it doesn't show any negative results of apple. Maybe they should use google...
It would help if you had to be a little more specific on the download of data.
BTW: this is a user support forum. you approach NO Apple here.

original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.
I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update. I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update". I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3. Then, I took a break, until the next day.
I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night. I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"]. What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U". There is no updated list. Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.Comment 1: To my rquest, a moderator merged your thread in the Sub-forum Win7 updates with your wire in the Sub-forum of updates of Windows XP 20 Feb-12, c. 07:50 UTC.
Comment 2: If you will not contact the MS Support on this issue?

Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]). Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...
Repost...
1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?
2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)? .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed? .. .and if so, you manage to install it?
3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer? .. .and if so, you manage to install it?
... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.
Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

All browsers stop working after the automatic updates

Hi, I have a Dell 14R with Windows 8, standard configuration. After the automatic updates pushed on 06-04-14, computer laptop start behaving strange - not able to connect to any external website. Home page only on a browser worked. Troubleshooting auto did not find any problems. I restored the computer to the last point saved, generated an error "cannot restore', perhaps due to MacAfee, but solved the problem. Then I disabled the updates for windows, just in case. Did you anyone has a similar experience lately and was able to locate and solved the problem?

Windows 10 - How do I stop the auto update July 29
Hi all!
I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 3 14. I am trying to set up (any suggestions welcome, but I have been reading this forum and looking online for help) and have been unable to find an answer to the following question.
The agent told me that any PC, I bought (which currently has Windows 8.1) automatically updates itself to Windows 10 July 29, once connected to the internet.
My problem is that I will be sitting at the bar at the end of the month with this laptop (ending June 30). The bar exam using ExamSoft (by SofTest), which does not support Windows 10 (again, not guaranteed by the bar exam - and certainly not something I want to have to worry). Review of software requires an internet connection to download the review, although it is not connected to the internet, other than for the upload.
I turned off the auto update (for now) and am hoping that if I do not connect to the internet for a long time (although I can't control how long and it may need to be connected for a long time to download), it will not be updated. Does anyone know of a way I can stop this automatic update? (When I've updated my old laptop Win8, then 8.1, I could opt for the update and run it when I chose, but also go back to the old version if I did not like the news. "It seems strange to me that there is an automatic update without option).
Thanks in advance!
As mentioned Atli, it won't auto update. By getting the so-called "reservation", you still get to determine when the update is installed after that date, but it will significantly speed up the upgrade process because you don't have to wait for a download of 3 GB.

How to prevent the automatic updates
How to prevent the automatic updates which closes the window and restart the computer in Windows 7, Vista OP? I'm usually right in the middle of something when this happens.
Hello
change how to get updates to allow you to choose what you and when you install to stop it happening again
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html
Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.
Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.
