Having the system set to automatically update will do so for security
related updates. Performance enhancements are often not included in the
automatic updates (often should only be performed if there is a related
problem). Do check the windows update site directly and the specific links
suggested by other posters. (be wary of any Microsoft suggested hardware
updates however)
Also you will need to elevate the command prompt before some operations.
Start orb
cmd
cmd.exe will appear at top under programs, right click it and select 'Run as
administrator'
