  1. Auto updates turned off still updates, deletes shortcuts who knows what else


    i have auto updates turned off both in the options and by command prompt. microsoft eventually just updates my pc anyway, resets's my U.a.c permisions and delete's my browser shortcuts from my task bar. I have these options turned off for a reason, your tech support department is trash...

    i got told to turn it off and turn it on again (no really i'm not kidding!!!) i specifically set it like this to read the patch notes and update when i know it there are no issues with the update as the disaterous history of problems needing hot fixes. i cannot afford to have this effect me. as for deleting my opera browser shortcuts this is nothing more than corporate tampering. if you want us to use your browser make a better one.. simple.

    Basically what this demonstrates is Microsoft's lack of understanding their clients needs and acting like a bossy psychopath with no remorse.

    Over it.

    Microsoft Auto-Updates Components of Windows Without User Permission

    The nine files that are updated all have to do with the Auto-Updater itself.
    The article lists them all. No big deal.

    I run auto-update anyway, so BRING ON THE NEW UPDATES !!!
    I have yet to experience any problems from MS updates on my XP network.

  3. XP auto update thingy

    ive been running XP for several months now without a fresh install and all has been well. as most people do i auto update running. today one of the auto updates came up and it wont go away. it says its installing but then pops back up and keeps installing it. ive rebooted and it still comes up saying it needs to update my machine. any ideas? i might just turn auto update off.
