Windows Update checks for new updates at the time you specify.



If you're computer is off when that time rolls around, it will check as soon as you turn it back on.

I think that you made a wise choice when it comes to install yourself. Allow me to give you some unasked for advice.

Sometimes, after the update you are asked if the download should reboot the computer. I said yes, once. Well I had to force a shutdown after a freeze. I do not know if the update caused the problem, but now I always say now and restart, myself.

Once a month, you will get several updates. Dont install all at once, do only one or two at a time. This avoids many problmes that I have seen posted and in addition, if an update causes a problem, you will know which one to unistall.

for the advises
i would like to know my question answer
i mean with my setting does w7 checks for update at every boot or at every day?

because i guess my w7 automatic update doesn't check for update at every boot


thanks

Look at Jons answer. You set the sechedule, it checks the way you have set it up.

 

[richc46]

Go to search. Type windows update. Then change settings. Mine is set every day at 3. So it is at 3 not at boot etc.

thanks
but i want to use these settings

i did boot w7 many times but the date of the last check is 12.13
now it's 19.25

it does seem that the autoupdate check doesn't work at every boot

 

[richc46]

That is the time. It says that it installed at one time and a few minutes later itchecked.

It does not check at every boot. If I can find the schedule I will post.

maybe my english is not good ,sorry for that

in the screenshot there is most recent check for update 12:13
->this morning ,before have lunch

now it's 19:36 (7:36 pm) evening

after many reboots after the 12:13 ,w7 did not perform a check

i mean now it's 7:36, should do it a check ,should not it?
i mean in the more recent check should be 19:36 (7.36pm)
thanks

Give me a while, I will try to find out what kind of schedule the updater is on. It is about once a day. Mine is anyway.

 

[richc46]

I have found that that the updater checks once a day, based upon certain conditions.Verify the time of the last check and then check again in 48 hours, If the upadater checked at least once you are ok. It has nothing to do with boot.

With the release of Windows Me in 2000, Microsoft introduced Automatic Updates as a replacement for the Critical Update Notification tool. Unlike its predecessor, Automatic Updates includes the ability to download and install updates without using a web browser. Instead of the five minute schedule used by its predecessor, the Automatic Updates client checks the Windows Update servers once a day. The user is given the option to download available updates then prompt the user to install them, or to notify the user prior to downloading any available updates. After Windows Me is installed, the user is prompted via a notification balloon to configure the Automatic Updates client.

Ty so much for the rep. It is appreciated.

Based upon what I read, and what I have seen on my computer it has nothing to do with boot. Wait 48 hours to check. Based upon what I read, the schedule is set for every 24 hours, but may be less depending on cirucmstances. One circumstance is if the machine is off. So wait 48 hours. If the update checked once you are ok.

I do not know what that download is, due to language. But as I said yesterday wait 48 hours. Circumstances can cause a delay in the updates. Its once a day, depending on circumstances. Mine is not every 24 hours, sometimes 24 hours sometimes 35 etc. Post tomorrow.

There is no right and no wrong, but I can tell you what I would do.

First I would wait until tomorrow to see if you really have a problem with updates. Do not keep checking that may cause delays. If you do not have a update check, by tomorrow, at this time, I would still wait a bit. I do not like making changes, like the one you showed me, unless truly necessary. If there is no update check, by this time tomorrow plus 12 hours, I would make a system restore point and then perform the install.

i did check and w7 checks for update every day

i would like to know if there is a possibility to tweak and force w7 to check to every boots like xp

thanks a lot

ps i tried to give you another reputation point for the perfect support
but the forum answer is

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to richc46 again.

what's the meaning?

 

[richc46]

TY for reporting back. I am sure there is a way to tweek the system to force update to check at boot, but I do not have that knowledge. I suggest that you try to bring the question to the attention to someone who may know. Start a new thread, give it a subject that says. Can Windows Update Install At Every Boot. Someone will help you.

The message that you received about the rep means. That you have to give rep to 10 other people before you give it to me, again. The people who are in charge of this Forum do not want friends just to give rep to each other all day and they are right. That being said, your appreiciation and desire to rep me again is all that I really need to make me very, very glad that I could help you.
