Microsoft is so rude! even though I have MY pc set to alert me when updates are available, the updates occur; not only do they just occur, but when they are important updates (according to Microsoft), my PC tells me it is going to reboot in 15 minutes or whatever to give me time to save my work first. No way to stop it, even in the task manager as far as I can see. This is with Win8 and IE10 that came with my newest PC. Very rude, very rude!
One way to stop it is to disconnect from the internet, then it will try again later.
Or disable it all together in the Task Scheduler. That will keep it from looking for updates.
I like to apply the updates that I need, not the ones that hose a working system.
Have Fun.
