    Windows Update ignores my active hours settings! Updating in the middle of my workday...


    Windows has done updates during my active hours that I have set in my computer settings, why? The last update took over two hours while I was trying to run my business using the computer. I'm very frustrated that windows update is ignoring my active hours that I have set. I receive no notifications that an update is pending or allowed a choice. It updates when I restart the computer. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again! This has happened multiple times!

    :)

    Oh. Your "Registry" must have gotten screwed up FLY3R. If for some reason you couldn't download your updates I suppose you could go to the update site, and run throught the steps 'till it fails activation. Then you could go up to "Tools > Manage Add ons > then disable "Windows Genuine Advatage Validation Tool." Of course you should only use this method if you are having problems updating your legitamate copy of Windows XP. Perhaps do to a corrupted piece of software? *Smile Windows Update ignores my active hours settings! Updating in the middle of my workday... :)

    Any one know how to permanently dissable auto update in windows 10?

    Did you go into the Update options and set your active hours? You can set a 12 hour window where it won't do updates.
