This is how it's done on my computer. It should / might be similar on yours. I hope so.
Go to the Control Panel on your computer -- the menu you access from the Start button maybe, down in the lower left hand corner. Go Way down to the bottom where it says "Windows Updates" ---> click on that. Go to "Change Settings" in the left hand sidebar. Make changes there ... including NEVER check for updates ... which is my setting now. Even though they yell about how it's "Not Recommended." Eff 'em.
You may also be able to check something instead like, "Don't install without asking" ... or "Until I give permission." I don't care. They now leave me the guzbuck alone -- which is the whole point.
Got it done. Thank you so much. It was checking everyday at 3:00 AM and installing them.
One thing I really like about Ubuntu. I have to enter my machine password to run an upgrade of any sort. It takes maybe 20 seconds out of my life maybe once a week (I tend to let them pile up a little :) But I get to decide when!
I actually had Ubuntu on this laptop at one time and I just couldn't get along with it so I had it stripped off and put windows 7 back on it. That was when I was really pissed off at Microshit for some other reason.
