CeeCee Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Is Windows XP searching updates to install during shutdown? I looked my WindowsUpdate.log and there was entries like; "Install at shutdown: no updates to install" and "WUAutoUpdateAtShutdown failed". Is there anyway to disable that? I have WU automatic updates disabled. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyKlein Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It's indeed a Windows Update feature. At shutdown Windows looks for freshly downloaded Windows Update to install, and will present you with a prompt at shutdown if they're found. "WUAutoUpdateAtShutdown failed" > error 8024000C generally points to some kind of a network issue. Not sure why it appears while you have automatic updates disabled though . Maybe it's precisely because you have them disabled... BTW, go to Start > Run > Services.msc and scroll down to the Automatic Updates Service. Is it in fact disabled?

TonyKlein Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. It may just be a default action Windows undertakes at shutdown, whether or not AU is enabled or not. You could also try posting in the dedicated MS Windows Update newsgroup for some more input: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate Tony CLSID List - A Collection of Autostart Locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 ive noticed, if it asks me to install updates, i can simply install them at shutdown by going to start>shutdown>shutdown. this is also where it tells you that theres updates and they will be installed.

Certainly, but if you read CeeCee's original post carefully you'll see that he/she has Automatic Updates DISabled, hence the question.
