Those with a clue often use the "not recommended" setting because
they want the choice of whether or not to install a particular update.
....and of course my above recommendation was for updates that related
to security - not just new features the developers are adding to the mix. | |

Hello,
I understand what you had said. Please consider this :
1. MS will not offer you an XP update if you have Vista.
2. As stated before, an update which is" non-essential" will be labelled optional. MS won't jam it down your throat-- at least not in this issue.
3. You said that yourself that you would recommend to update it even if one did not use it much, if at all.
So, what is the down side of enabling auto updating other than to satisfy one's ego of being master of one's destiny, which is just a myth. It only applies to 1 % of the population -- may be less than that.
