can i restore the original Windows Update?


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I originally used Windows Update in my new Vista computer, it searched

for updates to the OS (Vista) only. I since configured it to search for

updates to Office as well and would like to restore the original version.

 

(1) Is there any way to DEselect the suggested updates so that they STAY

deselected and I'm not reminded constantly to install those updates?, or

(2) Can I restore the original Windows Update so that it ceases to search

for Office updates and only searches for Vista updates?

 

Help!! I've researched and researched this question without success.

Go to Microsoft Update webpage > Click on Change Settings in left pane >

Scroll to bottom of page > To Stop Using Microsoft Update > Disable

Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

 

With Windows Update as your default, you will need to check in at Office

Update to keep your Office applications fully patched:
