I have PCs in the wood shop, one ready for the metal shop to run the CNC mill, another for the car software and analysis, one linked to the TV for iplayer etc, one that I use on my lap to write this. There is a bigger screen machine up in the office for design work. All run XP and not troubled by microsloth updates.

Maybe try a Google search for "turn off update messages win xp" and that might help give guidance what to do.
