all have a tick at the moment.

Which one are you suggesting I untick, so that I don't see the flag when
it still wants me to "Change Windows Update settings" (which I have no
intention of doing), but still get a popup when there are updates
available?

I have Security, Windows Update 'Currently not monitored', but still
receive messages when Updates are available.

Probably should have replied more fully ...
Security, Windows Update Not selected
Maintenance, Check for updates Selected

As above, this stops W7 beefing about my Windows update settings, but
alerts me when updates are available, so I can choose whether or not to
download & install them.
