How to Remove Dell and Windows Updates Alert from Startup

For Windows updates alerts, you can disable Automatic update; control panel, system applet, Automatic updates tab, check the button 'turn off automatic updates', click apply, OK. You'll probably get a doom and gloom message, but you can ignore it. But you must then remember to check manually from time to time, from start, Windows update link. Windows updates generally come once a month (around 12th, I think), unless there is an urgent critical one (though this has not happened for several months now).

I read your posted message about how to resolve the NotifyAlert messages but I am still having the same problem. when I tried to uninstall the Dell Support as you suggested the uninstaller cancels partway through the process. Do I need to be connected to the net when I remove this application?

 

yeah, mine cancels too, any ideas?

I used this advise from a member by yhe name of my_name_is_neo

" found it...  Run regedit and go to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Then delete the items that "run" that have "Dell" in them.

Neo"

this worked but you should first backup the registry. I also only deleted the run entry for the alert.
