Solve : The Crying, Whining *censored*-Fest (against Windows Updates)?

Answer»

I've DONE my daily job which is scratching the skin off my face, banging my fists and head on the keyboard and cursing REALLY REALLY bad words at my computer when it crashed just because I shut it down when it was doing an update.

Who the bloody *censored* downloads updates at about 10:30 PM - 11:00 PM or IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? Who and where are they? Gonna kick their a##es!!

But seriously, one connection stall and you get an error from this piece of-- horse manure, that once you click 'OK' to (because it's the only option (that has not been grayed out)), shuts down your connection, and THEN, you have to go through all these instructions to prevent - ONLY prevent - it from happening again, only to get it again a few days after you 'fix' the problem.

*censored*, I can't believe I got owned by a F**KING ERROR. If there weren't any laws saying you couldn't, I would've been going on a murdering rampage by now.

 dude, calm down. what windows system do you have Dairyman?

In windows vista, when computer has some windows updates going on, I can have the computer shut down AFTER the windows updates have completed. So it finishes all the updating that can be done without rebooting required and then just shut down.

Hey, just get some windows restoration going and you probably will be okay!It doesn't even WARN me that it's gonna be checking for updates or installing the updates. I'm using Windows XP (Btw, I managed to get my CD-ROM drive fixed with a little HELP from my relatives, I'll update that on my SPECS. tonight) with a wireless broadband connection (which is literally dial-up, just given the name broadband by the ISP, cheap bastards. The error message just appears randomly, and stays on the screen. I would've killed myself if my computer was running my life support, that's for sure.You should go into Control Panel and then go into Windows security center and choose " notify me but dont automatically download or install them".Ok I've calmed down now. I disabled the Automatic Updates service.lol, I have that whole system disabled. Windows FIREWALL, windows security center, windows update... all disabled.

Ahhh, the joy of not being hassled by BS of this sort.

so you shut down the whole system of windows updates. Well, at least, just visit windows update at least once a month on patch tuesday at worst.erm, no.

SP3 is all I need.


well, and my hardware firewall, and a few scans every once in a while.

Although when I do have problems- only 2 infections in the last year, only one required recovery console to manually  delete WLNotify hook dlls, the rest were easily removed with MBAM.that's good.
