My laptop is always updating

Hello. The system needs to be updated because Microsoft receives errors and bugs from users and by making updates they fix those errors. In order for you to stop updating your system you need to follow these instructions:

Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update, and from the left column click on Change Settings then the first option from up to down, Important updates and from the scroll-down menu select Never check for updates (Not recommended). Make sure that all the checkboxes from this page are checked off. Click on OK, and you are done.

My laptop is always updating

To have Windows install important updates as they become available, turn on automatic updating. Important updates provide significant benefits, such as improved security and reliability. You can also set Windows to automatically install recommended updates, which can address non-critical problems and help enhance your computing experience. Optional updates and Microsoft updates are not downloaded or installed automatically. 

 

 

However, to stop the automatic updating, please follow the steps.

1) Click Start.

2) Go to control panel.

 

 

4) Click Windows Update.

 

5) In the left pane, click Change settings.

 

6) Now in the internet update section, select the option to Never check for updates.

7) Click ok.

 

 

Everything solved.

Regards.
