Post by: David on Apr 25, 2012, 13:06:04
Hi all sorry to be a pain but last night when I switched off the pc updated itself and its knocked out the driver again I recall its a pretty simple thing to uninstall the update can someone just let me know how and is it safe to turn these updates off ?


TIA

Not on my machine atm but in the middle of important work to me so need to get that one back asap

Go to Add/remove programs, tick the box for Include Windows Updates, then sort by date.

At the top left of Programs and Features there is  "View Updates" click on that to see what was installed.

Are you sure it was a Windows update, David? I'm using Win 7 and I've had no updates since 11/04/12.

The last 'Patch Tuesday' would have been 10/4 but for most you would have received the updates the next day unless you were engaged in a late night surfing session.
