can not turn off automatic updates.
somehow I have turned on automatic updates to install at 3:00 am.Trouble is,
the install stuffs my network and I have to go back to a previous restore point to get my system working again. And the next night it happens all over again. I can't turn off automatic updates because nothing can be changed in the auto update config tool. The only way I have been able to stop the cycle is to stop the services associated with auto update. Anyone have any ideas? |

Satinay, "The only way I have been able to stop the cycle is to stop the services associated with auto update." That works for me too. If I have to update, I just turn on the auto update service, reboot, and do my updates manually. Not allowing SP2, choosing the custom install, you should be able to pick & choose which updates you know won't booger your machine. Can't you go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - System Click the Automatic Update Tab and choose to turn it off?

No, Nothing on the update is accessible. All is greyed out.
