I tell him not to do it, but he insists it installed automatically. Now considering windows updates itself on a daily basis, it's strange it only happens once every few weeks![]()
HangTime said:You can 'block' certain updates from being installed. Go into the custom windows update, there's a tickbox or something you can use to say you never want to be prompted for a specific update.
No if you go to the actual webpage as if you are doing it manually, you can tell it not to remind you about a certain update.t31os said:That only works if you tell windows update to display the prompt when an update is available, which is how i have it...... though it still likes to offer the Malicious Software Removal Tool to me although i've told it not to 4 times already.
t31os said:You could well be right, i still dont want that damn tool though....i do just fine monitoring software on the PC myself.
