    How to stop an update download


    The other day I connected a TomTom satnav to a usb port to check it for problems for a friend.

    The next day Win10 reported an update for TomTom was ready to download and install.

    There does not appear to be any way to stop this happening.

    Can anyone suggest how I can stop the download and install of this.

    Thanks

    How do I stop update from downloading

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond How do I stop update from downloading :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
