Disabling automatic bios update
My hp pavilion dv7 is doing automatic bios update since I bought it 10 months ago. I need stop this automatic update. Please i do not what a class of what is a bios I know it. I just need to stop the automatic bios update. I will really appreciate help on this issue.
Thank You.
Ed,
I would not try to fool you - I don't have a reason to do so.
HP no doubt knows the origins of all HP Updates.
To put that in clearer, but poorly constructed English: HP knows where their Updates come from.
I do not work for HP and sometimes, in the effort to assist, I make the mistake of using guess work when someone is only interested in true and specific answers. My supposition is that the BIOS update originated from the HPSA or from HP Updates. I could be wrong.
I hope your current setup and solution work to keep the system stable.
Thanks for using the HP Forum.
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.
Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP.
Kind Regards,

How can I permanently disable automatic page updates?
When I log into my Yahoo e-mail I get the following message:If you are using a screen reader and having problems using Mail, it might help to disable automatic page updates. Please note, this will also disable chat and text messaging within Yahoo! Mail. You can toggle automatic updates on and off using the link below. (Disable automatic page updates.) How can I permanently disable this in Firefox. I don't have these issues with IE8.
I have this same problem and it occurs with other websites (like ESPN.com) too. Only I don't get the option of disabling automatic page updates on other websites. I disabled and reinstalled Mozilla and it went away for a short while. About two weeks later the same problem popped back up.

Sometimes the browser is OK, and later on then it will not work properly.

Satellite L650 - Touchpad won't disable after BIOS Update
Hello,
I've recently got a new laptop, a L650-1CN,
I run the various kinds of software from Toshiba, and one of them is Tempro,
It shows me messages when a new update is available.
Today I got saw the message that a new BIOS update v.1.80 was available.
I downloaded it, and installed it. After installing my laptop shut down. Then I booted it again.
But after a few minutes I noticed that my touchpad didn't disable itself anymore.
I usually use a logitech wireless mouse.
Now I'm wondering if I should do a system recovery and not install this BIOS update, or find another solution to fix this. Because it's really annoying.
Thanks in advance.Hi buddy,
Usually the touchpad disable it automatically if an external mouse is connected but only if you enable this option in touchpad settings.
I also use an external mouse from Logitech and have activated this option. You can find it in control panel > mouse. Go to tab Device Settings and mark the option Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached.
I hope it works :) -
G42-230us notebook automatic bios update failure
Last month my HP g42-230us laptop started an automatic HP update to the BIOS. I did not request this to happen, it just started. Afterward, the computer shut off and did not restart like it said. So, I pressed the start button and it starts up and once Windows starts to load, it turns off. I have tried the Win + B as suggested in other discussions. I tried this and the HP BIOS UPDATE goes through the entire process of "Writing new BIOS Image." It goes through all 512 blocks. Then it verifies the BIOS image through all 512 blocks. I receive the System Bios Recovery is Complete; however, when it tries to restart, it just shuts off. I wait and nothing occurs. I press the start button and I'm back to the computer shutting off right when Windows starts to load. I have tried the WIN + B with the battery in and without (as suggested in other forums.) My HDD is fine because I was able to pull the files off of it using a SATA adaptor. I'd appreciate any assistance that someone could give me to try and get the computer back up and running
Vishal_g42 you would have to check with support in your area for your warranty options. It seems unlikely they will extend your warranty on a malfunctioning product, until it was proved to be functional again.

Registry key for disabling automatic Viewer updates
Hi everybody,
you can disable to receive regular automatic updates in the CR Viewer 2008 if you click on "?". Can someone tell me what registry key is written so that these updates are disabled?
Thanks,
PascalHI,
unfortunately, the registry key is always for the logged-in user.
But I received the solution from another colleague:
You can disable the Update mechanism by removing the com.businessobjects.crystalreports.designer.updateserviceplugin_12.2.xxx.jar plugin from the \Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports Viewer 2008\plugins\ folder. This will disable it for all users.
Note: Make sure to remove the localized versions of the same plugin.
Best regards,

Disable Automatically Deleted Updates Download on SCCM 2012 with WSUS
Hi
I have SCCM 2012 SP1 with WSUS integrated, both are on the same server, I created a structure where I downloaded the updates:
D:\Wsus\HotfixWinX
D:\Wsus = The folder where I installed the WSUS role
HotfixWinX = The folder where I downloaded the hotfix
When I run "Synchronize Software Updates" the updates downloaded with a time of old age are eliminated automatically, have reviewed the log wsyncmgr and I found this:
My question is, how can I prevent updates and updates folders to be automatically deleted?
Thank you.This is a fully automated process that only works for expired updates. Do keep in mind that after this specific message the updates still exist in the console. For a very good complete explanation, see:

SAPGui Automatic Workstation update service
Hi All:
We deployed SAPGui 720 to end users with installation server. After deployment we disabled automatic workstation update from installation server. SAP released new patch 1 for SAPGui 720 recently. We upgraded our deployment server with patch 1 and enabled automatic update but users are not getting updates.
SAP Document says once you disable automatic workstation update, it can not be undone. you need to reinstall service.
Is their any other way to enable it and get automatic update? We tried another option with double click on desktop icon 5 times to check update but it is not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Miral.ULA_RANDY,
We did the same thing ... had auto update service disabled on the server and front ends and needed to re-activiate it.
To "Turn it Back On" for your front end clients is easy.
1) Turn Automatic Updates back ON on your server. Change check in time and reboot switch to whatever you need.
2) Run the following command on your front ends:
[yourInstserver]\[share]\setup\nwsapsetup.exe /update /product=SAPWUS /NoDlg
If it runs correctly you will find additional files in the front end folder ...\Program Files\sap\sapsetup\setup\updater
You also will find WkstaUpdater.cfg (same location) to have changed entry of DISABLED =FALSE
There are many ways to run the command ... Copy/paste to Start, Run, CMD file, Logon Script, AD Startup Script, ... we have a vb script that we push to the clients via Microsoft SCCM. This assumes you have LSH configured so that end user does not have to have local admin rights.
Make sure your installation server is patched with the latest SAP SETUP 9.0 patch. And watch out ... it's confusing there are TWO downloads presented for SAP SETUP 9.0. The smaller one is setup only, the larger is a combined setup and AWUS patch. You need the larger one. See note 1587566
Also ... then once you have all your clients participating in Auto Update ... wait a few days, and then you can patch your server with the main 7.20 patch. Don't dump too much on the front end clients at once
Good luck!

Laptop won't boot after BIOS Update
My laptop took an automatic BIOS update
Now when I try to turn on my computer it won't turn on:
Screen is black
Power button and f12 button lights flash at 5 second intervals indefintiely
At the same interval a fan or hard drive can be heard spinning for a split second then stopping
I've tried the hard reset (Remove power and battery fo 5+ minutes, plug in power but no battery and turn on) but no affect.
The Windows key + B key with the power button for 1 second had no affect either.
I can't find any info with my exact problem (All other info seems to have blinking light codes while mine is just at a constant interval)
Thanks!@B1-17 ,
Thank you for posting back. Now based on how you are explaining the response you are getting after doing what you have done so far the next step will be to try and get a response with removing some components and then see what kind or response you get.
Here are the steps you want to follow.
First remove your memory from you notebook. Here is a link for the Maintenance Manual that will show you how to do this.
(When Removing Or Adding Any Part To Your Notebook. Remove Battery and Power Cord.)
1) Remove bother Memory Modules. Put the power cord back in only.
2) Start your notebook and see if a new flash code or beep code happens.
3) If yes place only one memory module back in to your notebook and try rebooting.
4) If you boot up then we have a bad stick of memory.
5) If you still have a flash or beep code. Remove the single memory module and try the other.
6) If this lets you boot up. Replace memory module that is not in the notebook.
7) If you still have the original problem or a new beep code. Power down again.
8) Now remove power cord then the hard drive. Use Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.
9) Try booting up again and see if this changes the original flash code or beep code.
10) If yes then replace hard drive if no then contact phone support for repair options.
At this point if there is no change in the original flash or beep code you are looking at a repair. For information on how to get your system repaired please contact our phone support.

HP did an automatic bios update. When completed, the computer did a re-start and it failed. The computer is not responding to anything. Power light goes on but NO BOOTING UP, no inner noises. It's dead. How do I get this computer to respond?

I have been using Firefox and its ancestors since the beginning. I am at the end of my rope with it. When I click a link or open the browser it is because that is what I seek to have happen. Unless there is a way to turn off automatic updating, I am going to pack it in and find another platform. I cannot see what would be lost if Firefox would do its updating on the way out, when my attention has moved on, and it is not taking up my time. Is there a solution to this with Firefox?
Hi,
It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.

How do I disable automatic updates?
I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
