    How to find what created a task for windows update?


    Is there any way i can find what creates windows update tasks in the task scheduler ?

    Event log does not make much sense.

    I want to find what keeps enabling/recreating windows update scheduling tasks so i can permanently end it.

    Very very very sick of windows update.

    :)

    How to find what created a task for windows update?

    task viewer icon(virtual desktop)

    I have the same problem. The task viewer icon was there but is now gone. I have gone through the steps you listed but no viewer. Then I created a new profile and the task viewer is there. Now, how do I get the task viewer back in my taskbar in my
    original profile??
