Seriously you're gonna have to be more specific about WHAT is updating and WHEN. Do you have the STEAM version of SH4? Or is some other "program" updating while you're playing? Computers are hardware so they don't update, the operating system is a "program" so that could update if you have automatic updates on. JAVA automatic updater is the worst, I always check to make sure that's off or the obnoxious gremlin will be polling the internet to check for updates every 10 minutes and hog all the resources.

START, CONTROL PANEL, Administrative Tools, Services. Open that and sort by startup type, that will put all the Automatic startups at the top, set anything with the word "update" in it to Manual or Disabled. Reboot and check task manager to see how many processes are running, should be less than 30 for a lean mean gamer's machine.
