Long before the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 appeared on the Internet,incomplete pre release versions were already circulating on the Internet,which must be uninstalled. You now want to disable automatic installation of the offi cial service pack in order to avoid any potential problems.
In order to activate automatic updates, use the free ‘Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit’ from Microsoft (download from www.microsoft.com/downloads). Double-click the EXE archive file and select a target folder for unzipping it. The target folder will then contain the ‘SPreg.cmd’ script as well as the ‘NoSPUpdate’ guideline template along with the standard ‘SPBlockingTool. exe’ component. The actual function requires a registry entry. To do this manually, simply create a DWORD value with the name ‘DoNotAllowSP’ in the key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
WindowsUpdate’. Then set the value to ‘1’.Users without administrative rights should right-click the fi le ‘SPBlockingTool.exe’ and select the context command ‘Run as Administrator’. Then confirm the User
Account Control query and also authorise the input by selecting an account with administrator rights and entering the relevant password. A message confirms the setup.
This setting blocks only the download via Windows Update but does not prevent a subsequent manual installation of the service pack. The installation is blocked for maximum 12 months after the release
of the service pack. During this time, you should test the installation on another computer and/or trace the reactions in the network and re-install the service pack at the earliest.
NOTE: The announced service pack is automatically distributed and installed via Windows Update Service. Immediate installation is however not necessary. The important security updates contained in it are automatically installed on the latest systems and compiled again into the service pack. You can usually wait for
modifi ed or advanced functions so that initial problems with the service pack can be identified and resolved in time. This is because it is often difficult to reset the installation of a service pack.
