Would changing all users (except one) to standard users prevent updates & upgrades in windows 7 from Microsoft not the user?
It's the way I use it with home premium since it has no group policy
Yes only 1 admin account all others standard
Uncheck the box in the admin account to let all users install updates.
The only way it 10 will slip by is if you missed it along with any other new features Recommended or Optional updates.
Maybe not, look at second paragraph in quote from M$ updates statement. This is why I have updates turned OFF, and check manually once in a while. This has no bearing on MSE as it still updates on its own
Art.
Choice and control
Update Services are turned on if you choose one of the following settings: (a) install updates automatically; (b) download updates but let me choose whether to install them; or (c) check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them. The Windows Update service is turned on and set to "Install updates automatically" when you choose the express settings during Windows setup.
If you turn on the Update Services, regardless of which setting you have chosen, required updates to some components of the service will be downloaded and installed automatically without further notice to you. If you would prefer not to receive required updates, turn off the Update Services
So if I understand this even if you have MS updates set to "Never Check for updates (Not Recommended)" it may still update?
Does this mean I have to turn off the related services as well to neuter the beast?
