| 799622 | 2009-08-09 03:37:00 | Windows XP Home SP3 I have windows updates set to "ask me when to download and install" They download fine but sometimes it takes several reboots and waiting a long time before the tray icon comes up asking me to install them. I don't know if this is by design but it's bloody annoying. Is there any command I can run to force the downloaded updates to start installing? I want to be able to install them BEFORE I restart so I don't have to waste time restarting AGAIN for the updates. |

Some updates do require a reboot, and more than 1 update may / will require a certain update / file to be installed for others to actually install. Thats probably why they dont install all at the same time. And why you need to reboot in between | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 799624 | 2009-08-09 03:59:00 | That's the thing though, NONE of them install. The icon comes up, tells me the download percentage, when it gets to 100% the icon goes away and that's that. There's no telling when it will come back and say "updates are ready to be installed" |
