I have a question, please excuse my inexperience and noobness...
I have WU to notify me when updates are available for download, so I can decide what and if to download and install them....I noticed that I havent gotten a notification in awhile, usually WU has updates available every week....when I check for updates through WU, it says its up to date.. ( with the exception of an optional update for SilverLight..) last install was 8/15....but there are defender updates after that date installed, ( defender update has its own settings I'm guessing at this point?? ) Attached is a snip of the update window...kinda paranoid that I'm either not getting updates, or they are still being installed without notification?
Thanks for any replies...

You can see when update have last been installed, so there probably not installing automatically. There hasnt really been any new updates lately, so I think you can breath easy.

Hi,

Can't see your snip of the update, but yes you're missing some - last update I had was 6th sept.

When you say you checked for updates - was that in Control Panel and then a window opens with a green bar saying Windows is up to date ?

Just to the top left of that green bar there's another Check for Updates - click it. - you should get quite a few - DO IT NOW!

The way you seem to have it set up, you have to do it manually like this every day. Otherwise you would have got them - unless, did you ever notice a little shield on your shutdown button - that means the updates will be installed when you shutdown - should have had search,media center, update agent and lots of Defender updates since 8/15
