cannot control automatic updates
I always like to do updates myself rather than automatically. But I find
that the wuauclt.exe always runs, even when it is set to "manual" and "stopped". When I see it running I go to the services.msc and find that it is started again. I have now disabled it to keep it from running. Any ideas? |

I have it told to download updates and tell me, but why oh why does it run and apparently check all of my drives when I boot-up. I too have now disabled it, but it p&ms on boot that I have turned it off. -- Geoff ExploitEd Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I do wish I could remember the darn question |

Then you need to do this: Click Start Control Panel Security Centre on the security centre locate at the Bottom Automatics Updates and Double click it and select this option: (*) Notify me but do not Automatically Download or install them. Click [Apply] then [OK]. HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk |
