Type this into console......

net stop wuauserv

If the wuauclt.exe process disappears it the Windows Update Service. Don't worry about starting the process again because when you reboot it will run again.

How do you have Automatic Updates set up in the Control Panel?

i did this so we'll see if it ever comes up again or not

Steps to turn off Automatic Updates

1. Go to the Start menu

2. Select Run

3. Type in services.msc

4. Press enter

5. Right Click Automatic Updates

6. Go to Properties

7. Select Disable as the startup type

8. Click OK
