I have a very annoying problem that I hope you can help me with. I set the Microsoft Critical Update task to run a while back and for my own reasons I want it to stop checking. Well I have tried every way I could think of to get rid of this from the task scheduler, including deleting, and setting the run time 10 yrs in the future and setting it so it was in the past. It would temporarily disable it, but the next time I boot, its back again with my original settings. It goes off every evening while I'm in the middle of working and is driving me nuts. I had it on my computer at work and I merely deleted the task and its never come back any more. Why won't my personal computor do the same? PLEASE HELP! "Hold No Punches.."
