    Hello Coolrunner, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    I'm not sure of what your problem may be, but Windows Updates will not automatically install optional updates like drivers and such. You might also double check with this tutorial below about the settings.

    Windows Update - Windows Automatic Updating

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Do you have the Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates box checked to get notifications?
