    Microsoft up dates won't stop coming.
    « on: July 03, 2009, 02:18:18 PM »
    Several weeks ago when shutting down I got a message on my desktop saying, updates being installed, the computer will automatically turn off. I have had automatic updates in my settings for years. I let it run and it now it  happens every time I attempt to shut down. Mostly, it's the same download all the time. I checked and the download was successful. However, it will not stop now. In addition there's a yellow shield shape icon in my task bar which once again tells me updates are ready. Does anyone know how to correct this problem and stop the updates. I allready changed my settings and discontinued automatic updates. They still come. Thanks. Hal.

    You may want to consider turning off Auto Updates...
