Security nag windows

[bawldiggle]

My XP machine is not (ever) connected to the internet (by design).
- the PC performs specialised tasks

I recently had to replace a flatbed scanner attached to the XP PC, but drivers for the new scanner required XP ServicePack 3 (SP3).
- so I have updated XP Pro with SP3.

Now Windows keeps reminding me my PC is at risk, every time I boot, reboot or PC wakes up.
- for the last 10 years it has not nagged, now after SP3 install ... it nags

I have figured how to stop "Firewall" nag message
- but I cannot kill the "Windows Updates" nag

Q1: How do I stop "Windows Updates" nags altogether. ?

I would appreciate some help

OOPs

Think I have already asked this question in March 2013 (for another machine) Automatic updates is turned off (nag)

If I have trouble with those 2013 instructions I will bump this thread
- that older PC died (HDD crash) in mid 2013 -- for memory the OS was corrupt too

Do you want the pc updated??

there are approx 120 updates after sp3 which came out in 2010

I use AutoPatcher for windows XP update, you have to edit the release.list to release2.list for windows XP SP3 updates

cheers
