Windows 8 turn off auto update

broken image

> Type “ windows update” -> click on Settings -> Open the Turn automatic updating on or off link. (see screenshot below) Press Windows + F or Windows + Q to open the Search charm bar. In the end, I decided to turn off automatic updates by adapting the default automatic updating mode. In my case, I really don’t like automatic update because it took the system over 5 minutes to boot to the Start screen after so-called automatic updating on my windows 8 PC. And Windows highly recommends you to install updates released recently. Like you know, updates can improve your computer’s security level.
