    To turn off windows updates in windows 7 follow these steps:

    Click the start button, in the search box type in 'windows updates', click on 'windows update'
    in the search results list, in the left side of the windows update window click 'change settings'
    then in the option bar select 'Never check for updates'.

    MS Windows search not working as before and uninstalling an update

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    need KB4048970 if using Vista - that's the latest win32k.sys patch. while it's listed for Windows Server 2008 only, it should also install & work under Vista SP2 as I've tested myself on an old Vista machine.

    for Win7 SP1, KB3172605 or better to speed up Windows Update searches as noted here:
