But today, I was redirected to the following :
http://v5.windowsupd...t.aspx?ln=en-us
which told me that MS was checking to see if the correct update software was installed. I was puzzled, and onto the screen came the words that if I pressed Install, my software would be updated. I did so, thinking the July ones would be downloaded (still asleep).
But NOT so...onto the screen after a few minutes came the message that this Install was intended for PERMANENT future Automatic updates!!!!!!….and downloads couldn’t proceed because I had disabled the following Services :
Task Scheduler, Background Intelligent Tracker and Event Log.
So before I knew it, MS has put tentacles on my machine WITHOUt telling me beforehand what their intention was.

Now my rant is that NO ONE tells me what to download onto my PC automatically and without permission (even Mike Healen said so in a previous post)


I have always done Manual updates and always will...even NAV, since it saves huge system resources. It is up to the individual to have a choice, not sneakily entering my machine like they have done.
I dont know what they installed without my permission, but if anyone knows what to delete please let me know...or maybe I'm paranoid.
End of rant...and my next machine will be a Mac.
