It's also the fact that I lose programs and default settings as well. To be clear, the unexpected shutdown and restarts of my computer (even when in sleep mode) isn't the only reason I'd like to disable Windows Updates. It's bad enough that I have Malwarebytes and Avast constantly telling me that my settings are out of date and that my computer needs to restart, regardless of how recently I updated them. If I make the adjustment using the Active Hours in Settings, would I be able to set a time for updates to restart, or would I only be able to indicate when I don't want updates to restart my computer? Also, if I set it to only restart at a time such as 3am while I normally would have the computer in Hibernate (and unplugged), would it then wait until I started up the computer the next day and then restart immediately? I'd like to just have it restart when I say so-and without it prompting me about it every 10 minutes that it needs to restart. Please, if somebody would-please show me how to turn the damned Windows Update OFF so I don't have to keep going through this? It's been nothing but a headache and I just want it disabled.Ĭlick to expand. But, it happened by itself anyway, and now I'm having to redo a bunch of my work once again. I also made sure that my update settings were such that I would have to manually choose to do a restart. I wasn't even online, so there was no downloading taking place.
However, earlier in the evening I get getting prompted to restart my computer to install updates, even though I had just done that a week ago and hadn't downloaded any more since I don't want them. It only shows a pair of "failed" updates dated from yesterday, even though I didn't do any updating yesterday. I then checked the Update area under Settings and it didn't show anything had been updated. Since it was not a planned, my project was closed and I lost a good deal of my work and had to start over again. I later found out that it had shut down and restarted for some reason. At one point, I looked back at my computer screen and noticed that it was restarting. So I put the computer to "Sleep" and intended to finish up after about an hour. Just tonight, I was about an hour into a project I was working on, and I wanted to take a break and watch some TV.
Windows Update has done far more harm than good, which is why I disabled it, supposedly. I also disabled Windows Update because I've gotten totally fed up with getting updates and then having my computer shut off at the worst times to install it, and then having to sometimes spend weeks trying to get all the problems fixed that were caused by the updates, having to reinstall programs that were lost, and having to change my settings back to the way I originally had them.
Just yesterday, I used the Run command (or whatever function it is) to go into the different Windows services to disable certain ones I've been told I don't need.
