It's a little bit to much text to type here IMHO. It's well described at this location

Open the Windows 8 Control Panel.

The simplest way to get to Control Panel is probably from its shortcut on the Apps screen but the Power User Menu is great way too if you have a keyboard or mouse.

  • Click or tap on the System and Security link.

Note: If you're on the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel in Windows 8, choose the Windows Update applet and then skip to Step 4.

  • In the System and Security window, click or tap on the Windows Update link.

  • With Windows Update now open, click or tap the Change settings link to the left

  • This will open a window with a Choose your Windows Update settings heading.

While there are several options here, most people either: a) want updates to install completely automatically, or b) don't ever want an update to download or install by itself.

  • Once you've made your choice, click or tap the OK button to confirm the changes.
