Actually, now it's re-enabling the service without even restarting or hibernating. There must be some new scheduled task restarting it from a recent update?
Edit: Yep, I see four scheduled tasks under WindowsUpdate: Automatic App Update, Scheduled Start, sih, and sihboot. I don't know what was there before and what I'd already disabled, but they were all enabled after just checking. I've disabled them and will see what happens now.
They will definitely become enabled again unless the 'WindowsUpdate' folder has been deleted.
I have just done what you wondered. Let's see what will happen.
At my end, it has re-created only Scheduled Start and does not check for updates anymore.
Just my VBScript still checks for updates every day.
That's what it did initially for me, too, but once I left it alone for a while, all of them came back. I may just have to end up deleting the whole folder. I read somewhere that sihboot might be necessary at some point, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
