System and safety. How to disable automatic Windows 7 update

At first glance, it might seem that knowing how to disable automatic updating of Windows 7 is completely unnecessary. It would seem, what could be wrong with the fact that the program is improving and evolving? However, in the case of the operating system from Microsoft, not everything is so simple.

One of the reasons that can prevent the receipt of updates is that not all of them are important to the user, and some of them are completely useless in the normal operation of Windows. In addition, downloading and installing new components can create unnecessary load on the Internet and the computer, which at certain points may prevent the use of all possible resources of the system.

But this is not the main reason. There is another - more important. It is because of it that we simply need to know how to disable the automatic updating of Windows 7. The fact is that most copies of the operating system from Microsoft installed on the computers of Russian-speaking users are unoriginal. Accordingly, the receipt of updates from the official server will eliminate the work of "crack", which will lead to the appearance of warning labels or even to blocking the system.

It should be noted right away that the stop procedure is very simple and will not cause any difficulties even for inexperienced PC users. However, before you turn off the automatic update of Windows 7, you need to consider one thing. Having disabled the receipt of new system packages, a red shield icon will appear on the taskbar of the desktop at the bottom, and warning messages will periodically appear, in which the user will be prompted to correct them automatically. These threats should be ignored, since clicking on "fix all" will lead to the independent inclusion of all options for obtaining updates.

So, how do I disable automatic updating of Windows 7? First you need to go to the Start menu. Then choose "Control Panel". Then you need to find the "Update Center ..." section. In order to facilitate this task, you can use the search string. Next, open the settings settings, where you can see "Important updates." There it is necessary to select the value "Do not check for availability ...". Then you can close the window. The procedure is over.

More advanced users can not only disable automatic updating of Windows 7, but also stop the service itself, which checks if new system packages have been installed on the user's computer. To do this, in the control panel, search for the section "Administration", "Computer Management". In the opened window, search for the "Services and Applications" subdirectory, located on the left side. If you click on it, the nested list opens, in which you should select "Services". In the running window, you should mark "Windows Update Center" and click the right mouse button. In the context menu so called, select "Properties", and on the "General" tab set the launch type "Disabled". A little lower, where the status is displayed, "Stopped" should appear.

In this way, you can completely disable Windows 7 updates and fix the issues associated with this issue. If you want, having mastered these knowledge of the system, you can again use this option.
