  1. Windows update automatically updated my system despite being Disabled!


    I'm very disappointed to know that my Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Edition does not respect my privacy whatsoever. Last week I upgraded to Windows 10 Home Edition (clean installation) for the first time from my previous Windows 8.1 OS that I had running for 4 years.

    I disabled Windows 10 Update from services after I updated it to 1809. But to my dismay Windows update automatically occurred and the Disabled turned to Automatic from the services list just a couple of hours ago. I never ever experienced such case with Windows 7 or 8.1.

    Now I am beginning to wonder whether it is worth continuing the use of Windows 10! *Mad This happened even while I was gaming! I had a glimpse of lag after a couple of hours. I then checked Task Manager and saw that Windows update had automatically been switched on without my explicit permission.

    Is there a solution to this issue? I know Windows update will turn on again. I want to know if it is really possible to disable it. If not I think I'll reformat windows soon and return back to 8.1 or 7. Forget DirectX 12 and all the other features. I don't care about them, if Microsoft has no respect I cannot support such operating system.

    I was thinking to buy a serial to activate Windows 10. But now after such experience I think I won't bother unless there is a solution to this so it does not return back. *Think*092

    windows automatic updates

    i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?

    Vista Automatic Updating Error

    Resolution Suggestion:

    # To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

    A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

    1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

    3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

    4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

    5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

    6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

    7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.
