I have turned off the "Automatic Updates" in WinXP Pro because i don't like things getting downloaded to my computer without my permission. I check Windows Updates myself to see if there are updates.

But i get pestered all the time with the pesky "Windows Automatic Updates are turned off" balloon.
how can i get rid of this balloon as it's driving me nuts.:devious:

I have disabled "balloons tips" that pester us but this one still pops up all the time.
 
Not that I recommend it, but you may want to turn off the Security Center Service.

Start - > Run - > Services.msc and hit enter

Find the Security Center listed, stop the service and set it to disabled.

Again, not recommended, but it will accomplish your task.

Alternatively you could just have them download and prompt you when they are ready to install?
 
Start/Control panel/security center

on the left side under resources click “change the way security center alerts me” and uncheck “automatic updates” if it’s checked.
 
Thanks guys
I should have remembered that, doh!

thanks again

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
