Hi andrei186,
Yes, It is possible to disable Windows Update from the registry, please copy the below registry values in notepad, save as NoUpdate.reg, and double-click on the file to merge into the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001 "AUOptions"=dword:00000002
Hi andrei186
1. Go to Task Manager, than Startup tab, and disable some applications (unwanted) from the startup. These applications consume a massive amount of resources that causes system the performance to slow down.
2. Please run cmd in elevated mode (Run as Admin), and execute the below command to check the system file corruption:
sfc /scannow
3. Run Windows update.
Please share your feedback, and do not hesitate to contact me for any further assistance.
Thank you very much. On my Startup I have only 5 applications enabled (screen is attached):
AgzrtCryptProviderEx.exe (for some reason there are two copies running)
AgzrtCryptProviderEx.exe
BIFIT Signer
Realtek WOWL Utility
Windows Security notification
The first three have to do with electronic signature which I installed as soon as I bought this computer and initially they caused no problems.
As to running cmd as Admin. I bough this computer with Win10 preinstalled and when run it for the first time it offered me to create a password. So now I have just one account on that mashine and it is the Admin account. I.e. I am logged in as the Admin. Yet an attempt to run sfc /scannow aborts saying the Admin rights are needed.
Google search for "windows 10 how to run cmd as administrator" tells that I need to use Cortrana. I never used it. Entering "Cortrana" into Windows10 search box I am getting "Cortrana is not accessable in your region" - I am in Moscow, Russia.
How shall I procced from here?
To run cmd in elevated mode, right-click on Command Prompt icon, and select Run as administrator.

Hi andrei186,
Regarding the file "AgzrtCryptProviderEx", it might be a computer virus or malware, please visit the below link for more detail:
- The link you provided reads:
--------------
To check whether the exe file is legit you can start the Task Manager. Then click on the columns field and add Verified Signer as one of the columns.
Now look at the Verified Signer value for AgzrtCryptProviderEx.exe process if it says “Unable to verify” then the file may be a virus.
-------------------------------
Task Manager on my Win-10 HOME offers to add about 50 columns names but Verified Signer is not in the list. How shall I get round this?andrei186 Please make sure Windows Defender is up to date, and run Full Scan on your computer and all running programs as well. Once you have done, please share the scan result.
