Disabling AutoUpdate

[jtindillier]

Hey everyone-

I have set Autoupdate = No in the winnt.sif however when I load XP, Auto Update is still turned on...

Relevant info from winnt.sif

[Components]
	AutoUpdate = No

Am I doing something wrong?

Try adding this to your list of registry tweaks and apply to the registry on your PC:

;Turns off Automatic Updates in Windows

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

"NoAutoUpdate"=Dword:00000001

or you could just go disable the service and it will not bother you again:

; Automatic Updates Service
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv]
"Start"=dword:00000004
