    Prevent Windows from Updating without confirmation


    Hi,


    Yesterday I got a popup about a win10 update. As I was working I decided to postpone the update. Sadly there were no options to either not update, update at a certain time.


    Last night I was running some software to do calculations all night, but around 1:10am Win10 decided to update, closing the programs without waiting for confirmation. Now I do not have the results I needed to work with today.


    So to be clear, I'm not against updating my device entirely, I just want my PC to wait for confirmation, and not shut stuff down on its own.


    Kind regards,

    :)

    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 Prevent Windows from Updating without confirmation :) Best regards.


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