how to disable auto updates

[roostaamir]

Hi there all.
I wanted to ask this:
How can I disable the automatic windows update.it downloads about 500 mb every week and my internet provider gives me only 9 gig in 3 months so I will lose too much internet with these updates.So how can I do this?

thanks

Hello Roostaamir,

You can go into Windows Update settings, then under Important updates (step 4 at link), change it to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them to do so.

Afterwards, you will need to manually check for Windows Updates, and install the ones you need.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

In Control Panel > Windows Update you can change the settings. But if you are on the internet, it is not a good idea to skip the updates. Many (if not most) are security updates,

Stop the HP updater in the Startup programs and/or disable the service in Services.
