Configuring Mini-PC's With Zero Auto Updates On Windows 7

[Tripredacus]

Work computer has no updates, home computer has updated but not since 2014. Nothing is being done without my knowledge. Unless you are being pedantic, home computer gets definitions updates for MSSE but this is happening with my knowledge. My point is still valid, you can configure Windows 7 to never get updates automatically without registry hacks and impersonating a security context to modify tasks.

I’m not trying to convince you otherwise, I’m just speaking from my own experience, and if I don’t need it, then the corresponding elements too, if I need to update them, I download them separately and install them manually, after unpacking them and seeing what’s inside.

I always approach any updates with caution)

You must understand what updates are needed for, for example, there is an add-on from 2013, I don’t remember which one, but it adds it to this window if you enter the command in cmd

netsh interface tcp show global

adds InitialRto and MaxSynRetransmissions

by default on windows 7 these parameters do not work and they are changed in this window, these are global settings for the network stack

if you don’t have them in this window, then changes in the registry have no meaning, this is a useful addition

the higher the Rto value, the greater the delay will be, say a high ping in a network game, the default is 3000, that's 3 seconds and that's a lot

MaxSynRetransmissions is the number of retransmissions of sent packets, the default is 2, which is very small )

and without this add-on you cannot change these settings
