You'll recieve that and more if you don't keep up with the critical updates. So if you haven't updated in a while, yeah, you have lots of updates.

BTW the last round of updates had about 19 patches.

Install SP1 if you haven't too, it contains a roll-up of many updates, and yes I have had 19 or so upadtes as well.

I've downloaded 51 updates to date including SP1. Without SP1 it would have been a lot more.

I had 19 updates as well on 6/14/2011 (was about 105-120MB). Also updated Adobe Reader, Flash, Shockwave, etc.

Thanks for all answers

It appears that each time I shut down & restart I have a new update

I have the SP1 installed for some time but this is a 1st for me

You are welcome mate. If you are/have installed new hardware/software, this could well trigger more updates.

I also installed a ton of updates a few days ago, but be warned: The updates changed some of my power management settings, which I had to change back to what I wanted.

Anyone else have this problem?

I seem to recall an update a few months ago that did a similar sneaky change back to a default setting that caused W7 to take forever to shut down.

I hadn't noticed any Power Management problems. Can you tell us specifically what PM settings were changed?

Thanks

I like your rabbit in the hat gizmo. The sound wasn't to good for me.

I tried to use something like that in my outgoing mail sig but can't get
it to work. I use the live mail, old outlook.

Screen saver. I went back in to the setting for changing when the display gets turned off. I reset it to "never." I believe an update changed it to a time setting, which I've forgotten.

This happened once before, I think at the end of 2010 or early in 2011. An update caused shutdown to take upwards of 4 minutes, when it's usually a few seconds. I've searched for forum to identify what specifically I and other forum members did, but for the life of me I can't find it, and I can't remember. I think it was kind of cache setting? I'm sorry I can't remember or find the thread.

I received a notification that Microsoft had a problem with the KB2538242 update
and it won't be corrected till July. In addition, I was advised to hide the update
until that time. I did it and haven't had any updates for the last 4 days
