I keep having automatic update windows pop up that take priority over my games. When playing a game, java or other automatic update windows will minimize the game I am playing and bring their window up instead. I just started playing iracing pretty heavy again and if this happens during a race it will suck big time.
I've tried turning off Java auto updates but it doesn't work, they still pop up. Java isn't the only one that does it, but it's the only one I can think of right now.

How do I make this stop happening?
 
How are you turning off Java updates? Some of the software I use at work won't run with Java 7 so I've had to disable updating completely. The best place to do that is Control Panel --> Programs --> Java --> Update tab and uncheck the box.
 
That's how I'm doing it, but it always just turns itself back on. I hit apply or whatever it is but when I go back and check it the updates are turned back on.
 
Odd. I've done that on no less that 20 computers and all of them have stayed off. :confused:

After you disable it and click OK, if you go back in right away, is it still disabled?

Edit: And this might be a stupid question but I'll toss it out there anyway. You are using an Administrator account to make the change, correct? I don't believe a normal user can do that.
