2. so we have to disable it permanetly( nothing will happent o ur pc )
3. we cannot delete or disable it, so we have to restrcit its access
4. open the location(c:windowssystem32wuauclt.exe)
5.properties>securities>advance>oweners
6.change the ownership to admin or user
7.then open permissions and remove the tick marks from all the admins, users, trustpublishers and press ok, angain ok(if asked)
