Whenever I start the computer windows automatically downloads a windows essential and it take about 5 to 10 minutes of "don't turn your computer off" while downloading.  Then it say unable to download windows essentials "don't turn your computer off" again whil it uninstalls what it just put on there tyimg up my computer for another 5 to 10 minutes.  I'm getting to hate windows...  I have the box checked do not install any updates unless I ok it.  It still does it any way.  What can I do,  I'm very frustrated and anti windows at this time.  The computer is almost two months old (Dell AMD A8) with windows 8.1.  Bill Murphy *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
