    On 8.1, Windows Update is set to never run. The account I am signed in under is set to administrative, but still wont let me change it. It says can only be changed by admin account. I have run full AVG and MacAfee anti virus and still no change. even set up another account as admin and same issue. Got any ideas????

    Hello,

    I'd ask in the Windows Update forum on Microsoft Community.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'

    Hello,

    The TechNet Wiki Discussion Forum is a place for the TechNet Wiki Community to engage, question, organize, debate, help, influence and foster the TechNet Wiki content, platform and Community.

    Please note that this forum exists to discuss TechNet Wiki as a technology/application.

    As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Where is the forum for... forum.
