It's not so much a need to control. It's just that I prefer to run my computer with minimal data usage as I run it on a minimal budget. I'm annoyed that Microsoft installs these hefty and seemingly...

101939I attached have a web page picture of recent updates on my computer. They show large updates/duplication(?) on a somewhat regular basis. Something seems not quite right. I have deleted Flash...

I'm sorry RolandJS but I'm back on updates again. Why do I have to accept the following recent installed updates? I've tried to list them below as they were displayed on my computer under Installed...

Thanks Superfly, your advice much appreciated, call me ignorant if you like but I just like simplicity and I'd rather press on and hope as I was advised by Optus the updates were probably a one off...

Thanks a lot RolandJS, I do appreciate your interest and advice. I will press on and see if my advice from Optus is true. They say that these substantial downloads from Windows are just one off and...

I agree with you but I also think that Microsoft have to take some responsibility. When I purchased my current laptop it came with W8. Not long after that I was bombarded with recommendations to move...

Yes but it sounds like they are a necessary evil and download them or not they will still accumulate. In the past, previous versions, updates were only installed automatically if they were important...

It still doesn't solve my problem but thanks anyway.

I am receiving huge updates that are costing me both financially and in data usage. I have a relatively low data limit on my PC (10Gb's pm) and the updates are consuming the lot just lately. Today 2...

Hi again Gijoetech. Can't understand why I haven't heard you. What you said sounded promising. I gave you the info you requested, if you do a bit of sifting, but haven't seen any response. Have I...

I am back to the same problem. I have contacted my provider regarding my signal and today my WiFi device is telling me that my signal is strong. However I'm not able to open Google, my mail or...

Latest speed test reveals Ping 40ms, Download 1.25 Mbps and Upload .34. My computer is running normally at the moment for however long that will last. The speed is adequate for my requirements..

Hi again gijoetech 1 I'm happy to give you the specs but first you need some more back ground as to what's going on and maybe what I want or don't want would be more appropriate. I've been having the...

Can't get back to you right now gijoetech but would like to. Will be touch as soon as I can, hope that's ok.

I really can't understand these things. I've just had a long chat session with Optus my provider and after that I can connect with my mail and Google without Optus having done anything?? These are...

Thanks for your advice dalchina. I know that I have a weak signal. Just can't understand why sometimes I can access what little there is and sometimes I can't. It's like I do something to get it...

I am having a lot of problems trying to open Web pages on my Laptop. I use a Wi Fi device (Optus Huawei E586 077f) and my wife also uses the same device with her laptop. She does not have any...

I have seen this question asked before and attempted a few solutions. Fixing computer problems is not my forte and I would really like an easy to followed solution. I have downloaded the program...
