Hi,

Yesterday, I turned off Automatic Updates and disabled in Alert center to report the same. (Both these are "Not Recommended" by MS).

The moment I did it and restarted, my system kept crashing. It happened 3-4 times in a row, and happened about 10-15 minutes later after starting the system.

I changed those settings back and voila, no problems at all.

Is it my imagination or did those settings actually affected the system? Anyone else had similar experience?
