If this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it.
Anyways, I've been noticing that my computer has been installing
updates without my consent. Originally, I had set it to install updates
automatically, and it did that for awhile. But here recently, it's been
installing updates almost every time I come on the internet. I tried
changing the update settings to "Download updates, but let me choose
whether to install them" and the two other options (check updates and
allow me to install, and never download updates) and it still didn't
work. Now, every time I get on the computer, I have to wait almost an
hour for the updates to configure, even when I didn't give them the go
ahead to install!
Is anyone having this problem? And if so, is there some sort of patch
that can cure it? Here's what my computer says I need to download:
