[If you in fact did manage to uninstall all .NET Framework versions, I'm
surprised the machine works!]
1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:
Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)
2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:
Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.
3. *Using Internet Explorer*, go to Windows Update website | Select CUSTOM
and allow the scan to complete | Uncheck/deselect the .NET Framework update
and hide it ("Don't show me this update again").
4. Start the Automatic Updates service:
Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)
5. To avoid downloading/installing updates you don't want, reconfigure
Automatic Update to the Notify Only setting. See
