Disable Windows 7 update. Proper shutdown of Windows automatic update

The basic settings of Windows are sets up in such a way that after you connect the Internet system will start searching and downloading new components for the computer in automatic mode. This is done in order to improve the compatibility of the device with new programs, file types, and so on. In addition, it allows you to install the most "fresh" version of the operating system on the computer, connect the Internet and distribute everything you need. Therefore, you do not need to constantly buy a new Windows Package. It is enough to install it from the disk, which remained after buying a laptop or computer.

Despite the fact that in general this procedure is useful, many users decide to prohibit Windows automatic search for new versions of programs for OS and their further download. The reasons for this may be as follows:

Installing too "fresh" drivers that conflict with computer hardware parts (video card, processor) as a result of critical errors.
The growth of the number of installed packets to download Windows update is a decrease in free disk space.
Failures leading to a decrease in Windows operability.
Reducing the speed of the Internet connection (especially for those users who have an Internet connection with a small canal).
Updates are loaded over the Internet, so if you use online traffic, then it can go to a round sum.
The inability to quickly turn off, turn on or restart the device until the installation of updates is completed (which can sometimes go for a very long time).
If you are using a licensed copy of Windows, then the fear may not be able to check the activation check during attempt to update the operating system.
You install Windows to friends or acquaintances who are poorly disassembled in the computer and do not want them to scare the pop-up window that you need to update Windows.

There is still a huge number of reasons why you may need to disconnect the search for new versions of Windows. Nevertheless, it would be stupid to disassemble them, so let's turn to the main and consider two main ways to disable the unnecessary feature of Windows Updates.

Full shutdown of updates

For this:

After that, in the service management window, you will see that Windows Update Center is disabled. If necessary, you can enable the search here will be here, returning the initial parameters.

Disable automatic update search

This method will help disable the search for automatic Windows updates, while leaving the user the ability to download them in manual mode. In any other case, it will be enough to disable the Windows update center in the previous way through services.

In order to disable the automatic search for new parameters and drivers, you need:

After that, the update center will close, and all the changes will take effect. To manually start their search and subsequent installation, you will have to go back to this menu, and then click the "Check Updates" button.

Does this procedure need - to solve each separately. It is extremely recommended to approach this thoughtless. Especially inexperienced computer users. After all, disabling the search for updates can lead to a decrease in the performance of the computer, the occurrence of critical errors or increase the risk of infection with malicious files.

By default, Windows 7 constantly works for automatic download and installation of updates. The operating system downloads updates from the Microsoft server every time you log in from your computer. In the theory, automatic updates are useful, as the "holes" of the system are designed to fasten the files, modify the files and optimize the Windows work, but in practice there are a number of reasons for which you should turn off Windows updates. These are constantly annoying updating notifications or download updates at the most inopportune moment.

For example: You are watching the movie or play an online game and then the next update starts to swing. All your traffic begins to eat downloading these updates, as Windows updates priority more than your browser or game and begin to brake everything! And for some of the updates even the Windows flies ...

You can disable the automatic update of Windows 7. At the same time, you will have the ability to download manually updates. To do this go Start -> Control Panel -> system and safety -> Windows Update Center . Click "Setting the Settings" in the left menu.

In the window that opens, select "Do not check the availability of updates (not recommended)" and remove all the checkboxes below. Click "OK".

Now the automatic update of Windows 7 is disabled. For manual download updates, you can go to the Windows Update Center at any time and click the "Check Updates" button.

Now let's finally disable Windows updates in servings. To do this click Start -> Control Panel -> system and safety -> Administration -> Services .

Scroll to the Low Low and open the Windows Update Service. In the window that opens, select the type of startup "disabled" and click the "Stop" button. To save changes, click "OK".

Update Windows 7 is now completely disabled. If necessary, the update can be included in the same way.

Good day. Most users of the World Global Network stands on computers. This is the most common from operating systems, despite its pay. Most of the other OS are free.

Among Windows itself, leadership continues to keep Windows 7, as it does not seem strange to many users. I think many people know that a significant number of users returned from the tenth system of the system back to the seventh. There are several reasons for this phenomenon.

One of the most important is the rumors about Windows 10 spyware. Yes, and the ten shows itself not in the best light. I read a lot of responses about dozens, incorrect work and so on. Therefore, people are trying to roll back to the seventh or eighth model of the system version.

But, many users were surprised by the news that Microsoft in versions of 7 and 8.1 of its system also includes user tracking feature. More precisely, the information transfer feature to the Microsoft Center, which, you agree, is not very pleasant, and is contrary to Russian legislation.

There are already several unwanted updates from September. I will not list these updates. We are like anyhow to consider them later. Now, let's talk about how to disable Windows 7 automatic update (in Windows 8.1, this procedure is carried out in a similar way).

Although, I will say right away, some updates, mainly in the field of protection of the security of a computer and improving the functioning of the system - even very desirable. But, since you decide to disable updates, consider how to do it completely.

How to disable Windows 7 update through the update center

This way of turning off updates, people use most often. Although, I will say right away, it does not give a complete guarantee that the system will completely stop updating. This method will disable only secondary updates (different third-party software, such as Office or not significant system functions).

But, as it does not seem ridiculous, such updates, as determining the authenticity of the system, may remain valid. And if you have a pirated version, Microsoft can recognize this and your system will start working with a black screen and limited features.

So, let's start disable updates. To do this, through the button "Start" enter the "Control Panel". Next, choose in the drop-down menu to the right "minor icons". In the window that opens, select the "Windows Update Center".

We will get into the update control panel. In the column on the right, choose the "Settings" function.

Further, in the "Important Updates" drops, select the string "Do not check important updates". On this, our update is not completed on this. You need to remove two ticks above the lines "get recommended updates ..." and "Allow all users ...". After that, do not forget to click OK.

Now your updates are disabled, but, as I said, a complete guarantee that the "main updates" stops, this method does not give. Therefore, we apply another way, namely, turn off updates through services in the computer's control panel.

How to disable Windows 7 automatic update forever

Although, of course, not forever. If desired, we will easily turn them on again. But this method will give warranty that when you turn on and off, no updates will be installed. So, you click on the "Computer" label by the right key and in the drop-down menu select the control item.

In the controls of the computer, select the "Service and Application" feature, then "services".

Now, we draw your attention to the opened window on the right. In it, we need to find the Windows Update Center. Usually, it is among other services in the penultimate (I suspect that this is to make less attention to this service for this service and have not turned off it :)).

The inscription above this service should be like on my screenshot, i.e. "Disabled". If this is not the case, you need to turn it on your own. To do this, click on this line with the right mouse button and choose the "properties". We will open a new window where we are interested in the "Startup Type". Select "disabled", then click on the "Stop" button. Next, we will stay click on the "Apply" and "OK" button.

If you do not like messages about updates from the speed launch line (checkbox with a cross), click on the checkbox and in the window that opens, select "Open Support Center".

Windows 7 updates you turned off. If you wish, you can easily enable them with ease if you need new Windows updates. In one of the future posts, I will tell you how to disable Windows 7 program updates. Successes!

PS. If you have a unlicensed version of the system, I advise you to delete the update KB971033, this update checks your version of the system for the presence of a license.
