Windows 7 automatic updates disaster
Well I just saw this in the news sectiom.
My Windows 7 desktop Home Premium with automatic updates worked till two nights ago.
New automatic updates yesterday froze most of the operating software and I had to wipe it completely clean to re-install everthing.
I patiently set up everything I have again today. First time round 59 updates went through. Second time round 183 (!!) updates and now the screen said failure to reconfigure, reverting changes.
I was told this has happened to MANY PEOPLE. The reverting has been going on for a while. How long should I wait? Overnight and then poweroff? Sounds like a reasonble gamble? If it crashes then I reinstall again. If it doesn't I perminantly switch off updates (I've had it) -- how do you disable updates please? Or set it up so that it let you pick and choose which updates you want?
Thanks in advance
