In the good old days, when you did a Windows Update,
you could display a screen that showed the activity
as it was going on... and control when, how, & what to install.

On my Windows 7 system,
I've not figured out how to get that same acreen,
along with Windows 7 Updater just downloading when it wants
and all I see on the toolbar
is the little blue boxy icon with the ring around...

In Win7 - is there any way to control "updates"
and actually have a screen display as it is downloading & installing ?

I hate all this "dumbing down" to protect the user (consumer).

Control Panel - Windows Updates. ???
