Important and Recommended Windows Updates are scheduled to be automatically installed on my computer at 3 a.m., a time when the computer is turned off.
1. I thought the updates would be automatically installed the next time the computer was turned on. However, when I check updates, I sometimes get a message to install updates. Does the computer have to be on and online to have Important and Recommended Windows updates automatically installed?
2. If the computer is not on and online at scheduled time, do I have to install updates manually?
3. How can I see a description of the updates before I install them manually? (When I check I get a button to Install Now and I can view update history, but I don't see a way to check updates before I install them.
4. On my Update settings, one option is for Microsoft Update, updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when Windows update occurs. Do I need this if I'm not interested in new Microsoft software?
Thanks.
