updating
I am trying to get my computer to begin telling me when
an update is ready to install. I'm afraid I turned it off a long time ago and now I can not find the feature in my computer. I don't know where else to look for it. It used to tell me when an update was ready for me to install. I was able to see what it was and either accept or deny it. If anyone has any idea where the feature might be it would be great. |

An icon appears in the notification area each time new updates are available. You can specify how and when you want Windows to update your computer. For example, you can set up Windows to automatically download and install updates on a schedule you specify.

When you click the icon or message, you can install the new updates in a few simple steps.
