Endless updates when PC is "Shut Down"
I have a rig that is endlessly updating when the PC is "Shut Down"
Two days ago I installed Bitdefender onto the PC (via down load on my laptop)
Then connected the PC to the router/web
Then updated Bitdefender
Last night 196 updates 10 hours later was still running
Tonight 132 updates still running now. after 2 hours.
There is no indicator of "what" is updating ... I can only assume Windows. Or worse a hijack.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not respond and there is no Start menu, just the default screen (not the BSOD)
with a msg...
NotePlease do not power off or unplug your machine.
Installing updates xx of xxx
WiFi connection is set to manual. So I cannot see how there can be updates downloading unless MS Windows over-rides my settings.
The PC has been a stand alone (no internet connection) for the past 11 months, operating without any problems. Windows updates were disabled, I know because I had problems killing updates until I got help from "sevenforums.com"
When I finish posting this thread I will be turning the modem off.
Would appreciate some timely help -- it is 22:48 hrs here, way past my bedtime.
Thank you
PS: How do I suspend Windows updates until I fathom this problem out ?
