Which updates W 7 U are required
Which updates to Windows 7 Ultimate are required to help an installation run smoothly without interference from MS? How do I tell which ones to install, and which ones to bypass?
Which updates to Windows 7 Ultimate are required to help an installation run smoothly without interference from MS? How do I tell which ones to install, and which ones to bypass?
Why not run all of the critical updates that are recommended? That's what I do and things are just fine.
Select each update in turn and check the information displayed on the right of your screen, which should give you some idea of why the update is being offered to you.
If, for any reason, you don't want an update, just right-click it and select Hide.
Following on from the good advice you have already received......
Re your update settings -
* I suggest you change them to notify you but let you choose when to download them.
* Do a few at a time only rather than "oodles" at once.
* Always make sure you have a current system restore point prior to downloading anything.
* Sometimes in order to get updates to install properly, you may need to do them manually by Visiting Microsoft's Download Center.
What do you mean by "without interference from MS" ?
I'm a bit intrigued as to why you think Microsoft are being interfering by offering you updates.
You'd have more reason to moan at Microsoft if they didn't send you important updates and your computer was attacked by hackers as a result.
