First to start us off here, I'm on dial up, so it's extremely slow as it is.. OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Windows Update Filename: wuauclt.exe This stupid things keeps trying to download updates. I removed it from the processes list and it kept coming back. I decided to let it download, and it shows me progress of the download in the system tray. 4 hours later after letting it go, it still says 0%, yet it slows my internet down so much it took me almost 10 minutes to get to this page. I even deleted the file temporarily to the recycle bin so I could do something, but it came back! It came out of the recycle bin and back.. How in the f---. Anyone got any information on how I can stop these downloads or something?
control panel -> windows security center -> automatic updates (at the bottom where it says manage) -> turn off (using classic cp btw) Daz
I have the same problem with DSL... Sorta.. It stopped right at the end because myfather cut my internet connetion <_< I think its finnaly done but I'm not sure.
i would go here and read through it it will tell you how to turn off your automatic updates and more cool stuff made my pc alot faster Gamer Renders, Computing, Xp Tweaks and Hacks but you do what you want
You do know there is a reason for the updates to be installed right? I wouldnt turn off the updates you machine could be vulnerable without them. Just my 2 centavos.
I only turn them off when it doesn't work, like in my first post. I waited hours and the % stayed at zero.
