Vista - No updates for almost a month

I am sorry to ask such a simple question but has anyone received updates since 9/12 for Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit? I have not had a single update for almost a month. Does this seem odd? I just registered to receive emails from Microsoft whenever updates are released. Maybe then I can see if I am not receiving them for some reason.

If you have any thoughts, I'd appreciate it!

Hi Landon,

You might check how your updating is set up

Windows Update - Windows Automatic Updating

and make sure you have the latest version of WUAgent

How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer

Hope it helps

SIW2, thanks for the response. I did double check and WUAgent is the current version. I have automatic updates set to download and notify me before installing. I have manually checked for updates in Windows Update and it checks and says all is up to date. Must be fine. I have subscribed today to the Windows Update Notifications via email and will see if I receive updates when I receive emails. I guess I am used to WinXP which received a lot more updates. Then there is my Linux box which has updates daily

Hi Landon ,

Check what updates you have had right now - I have had 4 Defender updates since 9/12 , all labelled
KB915597 - the latest one received today . ( I have 64bit, if that makes any difference. Definitions are 1.45.124.0, 1.43.801.0, 1.43.702.0, 1.43.537.0. )

I have Defender disabled (I use Windows Live One Care). I am only guessing that since it is disabled, I am not receiving updates for it. I have an update for it in August before disabling Defender.

Thanks again for your responses!

SIW2, wouldn't you know it. I received an update today

Windows Live Photo Gallery (KB946486). Figures, the day after I ask this question, I receive an update.

Thanks again for your assistance!

Hi Landon,

LOL. Glad it's all working
