Automatic update from the Windows 7 operating system is able to hurt much of your daily activities: if updates suddenly pop up on the screen while working, viewing the film or for your favorite game, then many users would prefer to turn them off. Do not forget that updates carry an important function of optimizing your system, increasing its performance. Consider this feature. Read more and accept the right decision.
In what cases is better to disable Windows updates?
You can consider several situations in which the benefits of disconnecting auto updates exceeds your losses:
- If you have a fairly old computer, which does not work well with the system tasks set for it, the updates can only aggravate the situation, and not optimize it;
- When on the hard disk and so little space, and the RAM does not cope, the updates will only add old garbage;
- If your system has any failures during installation of updates. In this situation, it is first better to solve all the problems, only then turn on updates.
Also, in some cases it is better to turn off the updates at all, not limited to auto updates.
How to turn off all Windows updates?
If you decide to refuse updates at all and control their installation manually, refer to the control panel through the Start menu.
Here you need to put the sorting of the icons "large". This is indicated in the upper right corner of the window. After that, you can conveniently find the "Administration" string.
Double-click on the service program, as soon as the new window opens on the screen.
Here you can find the window of the Windows 7 update center. It starts double-clicking on the left mouse button.
In a new window, go to the General tab and stop updating by clicking on "Stop". Only after that you can click on "apply" and "OK". From this point on, the change will come into force, and all updates will be disabled. Do not forget to enable them as soon as you solve all system problems, or update Windows manually.
How to disable automatic updates for Windows 7?
If the problem is only in those updates that are installed on their own and do not ask your permission to be solved, then you can solve this problem by another way. Your system will still set up updates, but you can specify their parameters on your own: manually, on schedule or not to install at all.
Go back to the computer control panel and find the Windows Update section. Click on it with the mouse.
In the window that opens, you need a left column with various sections. Select "Setting the parameters" by simply by clicking on it.
There is only one line with a drop-down list. Click on it to deploy. You will have several update behavior scenarios:
- They will turn off at all if you choose "Do not check their presence";
- They will be installed only with your permission if you choose the "download decision to be accepted by me";
- There is also a variant in which you make decisions only about the installation, and updates are loaded anyway.
Choose the option that suits you.
After that, do not forget to click on the "OK" button and close the window. Everything will take effect only after rebooting the computer, so do it immediately.
It is recommended to enable automatic updates as soon as you have an opportunity. Do not skip the important updates from Microsoft.
