    Default Help! How Do I Stop My Computer From Constantly Updating Itself?

    My computer keeps doing that updating thing, where it says not to shut it off . You know, where it tells u it's"Configurating", and gives % and you have to wait till it's at 100% ?
    Then it shuts off and restarts?
    It's been doing it at least 3× during a shift, and AGAIN when I go to shut it off.
    It's a Gateway laptop.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you're using Windows 10 you can't stop the updates. I hate that they did that btw. You can do the little hack below though. However it sounds like your computer is having issues. Its not suppose to constantly update and restart. Have your changed anything or noticed your computer running different?

    Will it negatively impact WIndows 10 to disable the updates? It seems like such a fragile system that anything done to it would result in its collapse, but at the same time, it eats up my internet with all those stupid updates...sigh.
