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
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.
