Windows Updates Without Sp2


Recommended Posts

Today, on Google News, I saw that a windows update has been issued for a JPEG security flaw. How can I get the patch and avoid SP2 for now. When I go to Windows Update it wants me to turn on automatic updates. If I turn it on will SP2 automatically download or will I get to pick and choose the updates?

Thanks.

It's a good idea to set Windows Update to automatic, but then make sure you change the "update and auto install" to the choice that says something like "download and prompt me to schedule". That way you can choose what updates it has that you want on your computer. That's what I did. It will give you options on the Update page that recommend updating to SP2, but give you the option to sidestep and look for other important updates. Go with that!
