General confusion concerning Windows Updates
It used to be that everything was checked by default when I opened that page but this time the 3 for .NET weren't checked but they're 'Recommended'. ????
I got KB2834140 this time but I had 'Hidden' KB2670838 when it came out 'cuz I wasn't sure I really needed it, something about 'Platform', so do I hide it too?
I always click on the "More info" link to see if I can possibly make sense of the update so really got lost on KB2808679 when the 'info' page open up with info on XP, although it did go further into others.
Am also confused anymore (liked XP's better) over the status of updates, I understand 'Critical', but now we have Important, Recommended, Moderate, etc.
I have updates set to Notify me instead of Auto due to recommendation of most of what I've read here at forum & always do just a couple or so at a time "just in case".
Does anyone have any suggestions for a dummy?
Thanks.
