4. Click on the 'File' tab once the 'Windows Update' has loaded.
5. Select 'Uninstall Update' to uninstall the Windows Update Agent. Click 'Yes' in the dialog window that opens.
6. Type 'msconfig' into the 'Run' or 'Search' box in the Start menu. This opens a window that contains your startup files. Click on the 'Start Up' tab and scroll down to find 'Windows Update.' Unclick the box beside 'Update. ' Click on 'Apply' and then choose 'Close.'
7. Click on 'Restart' in the dialog box that appears to restart the computer and save the settings. If you have important files running that you cannot end at the moment, click on 'Exit Without Restart.' This changes the settings the next time you reboot the computer.
