Guest Sanford Aranoff Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 I disabled auto updating. I have XP SP2. I would like to get updates for SP2, not SP3. Can this be done, or should I just forget about the updating?

When you're informed that there are updates available, use the custom install, NOT the automatic one and untick SP3 and hit download for the rest of the updates. After that you will be asked if you want to not be informed of SP and tick it. You will only be offered SP2 updates from now on. Alias

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Re: Updates not SP3 With Automatic Updates (AU) disabled, you will be offered SP3 as well as any available post-SP2 updates available at Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com). If you re-enable AU and select the Notify Only option, no updates (including SP3) will download OR install without your permission.
