Original Message Does anybody know how to completely eliminate Windows Update from ever running on 7?

I disabled it everywhere I could find to do so, but it's right there in the task manager every time I boot, like I never changed anything.

I can stop the service in Task Manager, but it immediately restarts itself, even if I stop it after the computer has been running for many hours, which doesn't make sense to me.

Wouldn't you think that after a while, it would have already checked for updates for that day and not start again, or is the code not that sophisticated? Or is it doing something OTHER than update checks?
