    A question regarding Automatic Updating ?


    If I allow Windows Update to automatically install updates, will it only install critical updates or will it also install optional updates automatically as well ?


    Thanks

Quick question about Automatic Updates
in Performance & Maintenance

Just upgraded from XP and I have a question about Automatic Updates. In XP if I skip an update it gave me the option to not prompt me for that update again. I don't see that option in Win7. Is there a way to keep it from pestering me about updates I don't want?
