Re: Update notification

You can go into the control panel, Windows Updates, in the left pane click
Change Settings. In there, you can make sure it's set to download the
updates, recommended updates, etc.

Re: Update notification

Thanks for the input. I have my updates set to notify. I have had experiences
that have lead me to always restart my system and make a restore point before
installing updates.
MS Update set to auto-notify has worked flawlessly ever since I have used
Vista all the way back to 8/06 with RC2. Last week I installed a new MS Laser
6000 mouse and my system stopped going into standby. I searched and searched,
tried everything I could think of and finally a very nice person in this
newsgroup replied she had the same problem with a screen saver. She gave me
the filename, I searched MS and it said to go to updates. Sure enough it was
right there with 2 others. I found another one yesterday but I'm not getting
any notifications. I could have saved lots of time troubleshooting my new
mouse if update had notified me. I can't figure out why it stopped working.

RE: Update notification

I just checked for updates and there was one from 4/18. Why has my Vista quit
notifying me about updates?
