Windows 8.1 on a very small laptop. 2GB RAM. 32GB SSD.
This laptop keeps Downloading something from Windows Update and continually fails during the install.
As a result, it then needs to Uninstall the failed Update and Reboot the laptop.
The problem is it takes this laptop about 1 HOUR to do this. In the meantime, the laptop is unusable and held hostage.
I went into Windows Update. Clicked (from the drop down Menu) NEVER download or install Windows Updates. I think Clicked the "OK" button.
At the point, a Windows pop-up window appears which says.... "Please log in with Administrator's Account etc....
There are only (2) Accounts on this laptop. ME (Administrator Account) and the Guest Account. Since I'm using MY laptop there is never a need to sign in to the Guest Account. Obviously.
So why does Windows NOT know that the Administrator Account is Active and allow me to make the change to Windows Update menu ?
TIA
