Okay. Whenever I shut down my computer, it has to install "updates".
I don't really think it needs to install "updates" this often.
How do I turn this off?
It takes FOREVER to shut off the computer. D:

It's all the incremental SP3 updates...

To turn off the Auto updates, go to control panel -->Security Center -->Then click on automatic updates. You will find the correct options to turn it off there.


BTW that is for XP...

Ahhh.
That's why?
That's kind of annoying but I suppose I need it, right?

No because it is not supposed to update every single time that you turn off your computer.

So I should turn it off?
I really don't want to turn off IMPORTANT updates.
Just pointless microsoft updates.

For me it depended on how long my system was up. If I just powered it on to do a quick check, sometimes the auto update would only pickup one of the updates before I tried to shut it down.

For my gaming rig, I have the auto-update set to notify me _before_ downloading anything. I may even set it to off, so it does not try and fire up during gameplay. My main home work rig, is set to automagically download and install.
