How to kill Windows Update Medic Service

Having extreme difficulties getting Windows to stop auto-restarting my workstation after updates. I've lost so much work I don't even care anymore, I just want to disable the whole thing.



Unfortunately, I cannot permanently disable the Windows Update Service and I think it has to do with another service called Windows Update Medic Service. However, even as an admin I cannot manually stop or disable the service. What do I need to do?

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite Good day all. I have a window that pops up saying Fatal Program Failure (AnyDesk). This is what I have done so far: Uninstalled AnyDesk and reinstalled it.

          QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

          Image
          1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as
