where are my windows update notifications?
Is this happening to anyone else? I know it is happening to at least one other person who uses a different virus scanning program than I do. I use ESET which has started notifying me when Microsoft has its monthly Windows updates ready. ESET offers a way to download and install these but no way to make choices. I must go elsewhere to get that form. Meanwhile, I am getting no notifications from Microsoft. For three months I've not received a notice from MS.
Now, today, there is more. ESET notified me of an available update. When I looked, it said it was Dell Data Safe Local Backup. Google says that is Dell reverting some program to its original version. However, when I opened "read more", it turned out to be Microsoft's regular monthly update. Why would Dell be offering me Microsoft's updates under a different title being described as something different?
Both of those above-described offers include Windows 10 with no way to say "no thanks" to it.
Please, I know I am "backward" when it comes to understanding the intricacies of computers but I do appreciate simple answers. Tell me what is going on here and what I can do about it other than just quit computers. Thank you.
