| 484495 | 2006-09-14 05:36:00 | Is there a way to stop Automatic Updates stop its automatic restart? I am getting really annoyed with it, as it pops up when least expected. :badpc: | pcuser42 (130) | ||

| 484497 | 2006-09-14 07:17:00 | I set my auto updates to download, but to ask me when to install, that works.:) | supergran (108) | ||
| 484498 | 2006-09-14 08:10:00 | i thought the current behaviour of the MS auto updates was to install on shutdown. (assuming it is windows updates your talking about as you havn't actually said) | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 484499 | 2006-09-14 08:31:00 | The default is to install on shutdown, but it also shows a clickable option to shut down without installing. | Laura (43) | ||

I am getting really annoyed with it, as it pops up when least expected. :badpc: In control panel "automatic updates" 'select notify me .....but dont download' that way it will still tell you but you can select when you want to download them , then do a re-start/ or if you want to. |

However, I would also recommend installing Bigfix (free app, and safe - I have been using it for 5 years now. Googling will find it) - only a 2.6MB download - this will keep you up to date with what M$ have published, but allow you to investigate each 'fix' and download/install at YOUR will... |
