Windows Update

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello all....

For those of you that are able; check WU.

I have it set to "check and notify" but I've received no notification about an update. Mine was only a defender update; but if it didn't notify me about that, it may not notify 'us' about an important update.

Just a heads up!

Thanks Ted,

I had the same Defender update waiting with no notification

 

[Ex_Brit]

Same thing here...in fact I don't think it has ever alerted me despite the settings.

Hi guys,

I have had notifications of updates but as i'm checking manually quite regually not sure if the update is working properly now

will have to leave it for a day or so and see

I guess the real test will be next Patch Tuesday.

Hello all.

Yes mine was up to date previously, because it was just a few days that I re-installed. The first thing I did was check WU even before I activated the install.

I also just booted to Vista and there were six "core" type updates available for Vista and just as many important type updates for Office 2007. Also there was an update available for Comodo.

I also have the option to check but not download. As you can see, I am using Office 2007 and 2003 so the updates for thoes two programs are included, but I am not having any problems. This lot was thrown at me when I switched on yesterday, for example. There were a few more, off the attachment, but you can see my update service is very healthy!

We are getting the updates OK - it's just that WU isn't notifying like it's supposed to.

Hello Dave.

As you can see I have a healthy update history also. But as yours; they were all installed at the same time when I re-installed the OS; except the last one, which brought about this thread.

I see. I should have emphasised that I am getting the usual notification that the updates are ready.

Getting usual updates

 

[Ex_Brit]

I'm getting all the usual updates, it's just getting a notification that seems to be hit and miss. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the next one to see what happens. I've reset mine to download and then notify me to install.

Hello again all........ 25 November @ 8:00 PM EST

I just checked WU and another "Defender" update is/was available with no notification.

I just got the defender update myself. I don't have notification turned on, but I noticed that it says 'Featured updates'. What a featured update is I do not know, but it would suggest that not all updates are deserving of notification. Maybe it is only for critical or important updates. Just a thought.

Hello Gary.

You may have a good point there.
