Notification on Taskbar When Win7 Updates are Available?
I tried addressing this earlier, but have not found the solution to my problem.
For some reason, I am not getting the notifications of updates for Win7 on the Taskbar as I was getting before. What do I have to set to starting getting the notifications again? Thanks for any insights and/or educational tips charliec |

Start/ input update/ CP Update/ Change settings menu choices range from installing updates automatically to never check for updates. Not sure how to do what you suggest here? Just where do you type this and the exact "typing"?? |

Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower? 2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics? OT, but I have to comment. This week I had a prescription priced at $246 at Walgreen's and at $40 at Costco. $206 difference. more than six times as high |

I also look at the "optional updates" list to make sure that M$ isn't trying to sneak in an "update to Win$py 10" icon, but they might hide that in the "important updates" or simply force it with no opt-out What's more likely is those perceived spy updates include (by piggyback on the telemetry update) o/s and security updated files that add system robustness and reliability. -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Anyway, uninstall these patches - especially the first - and you should be good. Note there will probably be a new patch this November (if they haven't released it yet already).

All the above are minor and partial updates to the Windows Update client engine. When the next major WU Cient Engine is deployed (not by KB but by automatic install without user intervention per the EULA and like the past 12 yrs) all the above removals will no longer be relevant. -- ....winston msft mvp windows experience |

While in the long run its utility may be in doubt - Microsoft very much wants to be in control of the OS, standardizing everyone as much as they can on one and only one version so as to ease support once they finally jump to software-as-a-service - at the current time it is not useless. Remove those updates (and "hide" them to make sure they don't get reinstalled) and the update badge comes back. And while MS maintains the "right" to update the client invisibly, I've never actually seen them do it. Their updates have always been optional. The only exception is when I went to the WU site using Internet Explorer and it would update the plugin automatically, but even there it gave a message informing me that it was doing so. That's not to say this won't change in the future - certainly MS has been a lot less forthcoming about the contents of its updates and the sheer volume of updates (not to mention hidden updates returning) makes it difficult to police - but so far they haven't gone /completely/ off the rails. |

Thanks for any insights and/or educational tips charliec For me what made the icon disappear was an update to the Windows Update client. REMOVING that update fixed the problem. I have since decided NOT to install any further updates to the Windows Update client. Try removing one of the following (I suspect each of these replace the previous one, so you should have only 1): KB3065987 Windows Update Client for Windows July 2015 KB3075851 Windows Update Client for Windows August 2015 KB3083324 Windows Update Client for Windows September 2015 KB3083710 Windows Update Client for Windows October 2015 Best Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !
