Block Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1 from installing

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

That's right Windows XP SP3 is just around the corner following hot on its heals is Windows Vista SP1. But what if you are happy with you current window setup and do not want these SP's to install how do you stop them?

One way would be to download the command line program from Microsoft and muddle your way thru getting it to stop these updates.

Another way would be to make the registry changes yourself:

Update the registry manually. To do this you simply need to go to this key:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
Create a new DWORD value named DoNotAllowSP and set it to 1 (To disable the SP install), or 0 (To allow the SP install)

Or you could download from one of my favorite sites www.intelliadmin.com their free GUI Tool shown below.
