Dec 21, 2017 How to stop unwanted downloads I do not understand the answer. I am getting unwanted downloads on my computer and want to know how to stop it. There has to be a way to stop, right??? Thank you for any information that will control this issue. Feb 13, 2012 Hello, i was wondering if anyone knows how i can stop somebody from downloading programs on my computer. My brother has been doing bad in school so i uninstalled wow so he cant play but he just redownloads it. I can put a parental control because hell just make a trial account and play on that. What are ways to stop him from downloading stuff! It's still possible in the new version of Firefox, which you are now using, to stop a download while in progress. There is a red button on the right side of the Downloads window corresponding to the file. Click that and it will cancel the process. And is a stop button whilst a page is downloading and a reload button once it has downloaded. Jan 10, 2011 On my new Windows 7 Home laptop I’m unable to download big files as downloads stop after some time. I know the problem is not with my ISP as BT downloads never stop like this and I’m able to download huge (1GB) files over BT without any issue.
Hi, Sharun,
In the post you attached this reply to, the solution was specific to software that was installed on the OP's (original poster's) computer.
What are the unwanted downloads? Suspicious software or Windows updates?
How long have you been receiving these unwanted downloads?
Have you recently installed new software?
Jan 24, 2018 When a user experiences an issue while downloading files, it is usually a problem with the connection to their Internet service. Consequently, the best solution is to contact your ISP (Internet service provider) for further information. However, there are a few situations where the issues can be cleared up on the user's end.
For suspicious software, reboot your computer and begin tapping the F8 key
Select Safe Mode with Networking
Download the following tool and run a full scan to rule out malware
If these are Windows updates, you control the downloads
Start > click n Control Panel
Select Security
Select Turn Automatic Updating on or Off
There is a dropdown menu where you will see 'Install Windows Updates Automatically
Click on the dropdown and select 'Download Updates but let me choose when to install them.' Mp4 cutter free download.
Click on the dropdown and select 'Download Updates but let me choose when to install them.' Mp4 cutter free download.
Or, 'Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.'
Click Ok when finished

Thanks
Did you scan your computer?
What did Windows 7 not allow?
Are you the owner of the computer?
You can also choose if you want to allow anyone to install updates by selecting the Allow all users to install updates on this computer check box. This applies only to updates and software that are installed manually; automatic updates will be installed regardless of the user. Free office excel 2007. Uncheck the box if you wish not to allow the automatic updates

The real issue is you will leave 'answers' like this up for 5 years and never update them. In fact you have greyed out any 'choice' to stop you from gobbling down our bandwidth like it is yours. How do I get that un-greyed out? Do I need to log in as the secret user SYSTEM? Are you finally going to let us do that?

Hi, TonyDez,
We have tried to have these threads locked for as long as I can remember. It's not the issue however since the thread was answered and the solution was correct.
Once you saw the thread solution and decided it wasn't answering your question, why didn't you search or start a new thread for assistance in the correct Windows forum?
What version of Windows are you using?
Are you referring to Windows Updates?

Apps like Minecraft, News,Candy Crush Saga, all these are being downloaded without MY express permission. But I digress it is probably in the fine print that these trash apps are being auto downloaded via win 10 updates, and even if uninstalled they come right back. PURE TRASH is what rating I give win 10 at the moment.

You can remove them completely by following directions in this document.
This document contains a script for removing apps. I have not tested it so use it at your own risk.

When a user experiences an issue while downloading files, it is usually a problem with the connection to their Internet service. Consequently, the best solution is to contact your ISP (Internet service provider) for further information. However, there are a few situations where the issues can be cleared up on the user's end. The following sections contain different solutions that may help fix download termination issues.
Download termination and latency
As we mentioned previously, many problems are caused by issues with your Internet service provider. Usually, these issues result in high latency or lag, which in turn cause your download to fail. When this occurs, it is problematic in that your Internet cache may 'think' the download was completed, thus making the browser not want to resume. One solution is to clear the temporary Internet files under the History section in your browser and try the download again.
Antivirus software or firewall
This solution is a bit tricky, in that users shouldn't normally download files without some protection active. That being said, if you fully trust the site from which you are downloading the file, you can try disabling the Windows firewall or disabling your antivirus software before attempting again.
NoteWhether or not you're able to complete the download, remember to turn your security back on afterward.
Download manager
For users who commonly encounter intermittent connectivity issues or download failure, a download manager may help. Download managers are a third-party application that can monitor, and if needed, resume a download from where it stopped previously. There are hundreds of download managers including many that are free.
Try the download at a later time
If the file you are attempting to download is popular or was recently released, the server could be overloaded with simultaneous user requests. Trying at a later time may remedy this issue.
Try a different server or mirror
How To Stop Downloading Something
Many sites that host hundreds of different files keep them on multiple servers or mirror sites. If you have difficulty downloading the file, try getting it from a different server.
