AUtomatic Updates - Notify me but don't automatically download
I am running XP Service Pack 3. My Automatic Updates is set to "Notify me
but don't automatically download or install them." This used to work perfectly, but now it has changed how it works. I do get notified when there are updates, and get the option to pick what updates to download. But now, when the updates are done downloading, I do not get the option of what updates to install. The updates are installed when I turn off my computer. I get the special "Install Updates" icon on the turn off button, and I get no option on what updates to install. It installs all downloaded updates or none. How can I get my Automatic Updates to work the way it used to, letting me pick when to download the updates, and what updates to download. Then when the download is done, letting me pick when to install the updates and what updates to install. Thanks |

AUtomatic Updates - Notify me but don't automatically download
Eric
Click on the Update Notify icon in the Notification Tray and you are taken to the Windows Update site. You will see XX updates are available to download. Click on the Details button and you will presented with a window with a list of updates and a box before each. Each box will be either checked or unchecked. If you do not agree with the selection you make your changes to match your requirements. Here for months I have been offered Silverlight with the box before it unchecked. If I ever did want it I would need to check the box. -- Hope this helps. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric wrote: I am running XP Service Pack 3.
