• 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 to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10

  Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.

  Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.

  Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.

  I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

• Stop Windows Update restart without my permission

  On my laptop and PC (both vista), whenever he does occasionally after the download and installation, windows update, it automatically restarts without warning or permission.  How can I do seek approval to restart.

  I don't mind my pc auto update, but I don't want to reboot without warning me, because it stops while I am in the middle of a program and I lose my job.

  The next option in settings should automatically download but if you need to install.  Y at - it an option to download, install, but does not restart until I'm ready?

  Thank you

• Stop windows update to install Nvidia driver version 52.16

  Hello

  Recently, I upgraded the PC of my father to WinXP SP3. It is an old DELL Dimension of 11 years. After installation there is a nagging question that won't stop.

  Windows Update keeps trying to install the following:

  MICROSOFT VIDEO NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX 420

  NVIDIA driver version 52.16

  This update is not necessary for the monitor to run.

  So far, my difficulty was to start in safe mode and back the driver.

  Windows Update repeatedly installed this driver. I have

  detailed instructions on how to block this specific update to settle here.

  Thank you

  To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

  Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

  Stop the automatic updates service

  Click Start, choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click on stop.
  Stopping the service will take a moment.

  Delete the content of the download folder
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
  Click OK.
  Open the download folder.
  Delete all the contents of the download folder.
  Close the window.

  Start the automatic updates service
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click Start.
  Starting the service will take a moment.

  By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed all downloaded
  updates.

  Now, the next step would be to configure Windows Update in order to warn only rather than automatically download and install updates. In this way, you stay in control.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306525

  Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.

  Click the automatic updates tab, and then click to select an Notify me but don't automatically download or install

  I hope this helps.

• How can I stop Windows Update restart my computer in Windows 7 Home Premium?

  While I don't mind Windows Update automatically updates from my PC, view it force a reboot when I am connected causes a problem.  I currently have WU configured to perform updates to 03:00, and when it's over, if to do a reboot, I'm not here to tell him to wait.  I'd rather leave time settings as they are and simply disable the auto restart, opting instead for WU to let me know that he needs to restart the PC.  I found ways to do this on XP and Vista, including registry changes and changes to group policy.  However, the registry is obviously a little different, so the keys do not exist compared to what I found, and since I am running Home Premium I have no gpedit.

  Where in the registry can I make a change so I do not data lost when WU resets my computer at night?

  Another way to do it without hacking the registry, which can be scary for some users), is to follow the instructions on the following Web site:

  http://weblogs.ASP.NET/jgalloway/archive/2006/02/11/438009.aspx

  I stuck in the main rooms, in the cases where the link is dead (but not nice photo well):

  1. Click Start-> Run (or Vista and 7 just press the windows ORB)
  2. Type: gpedit.msc
  3. Expand Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update
  4. Double-click on "to demand no auto restart for automatic updates installations".
  5. Select 'Active', then OK. Close the group policy configuration program.

  This should stop it autorestarting.

  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.

• 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...
