Checking for Auto Updates

If you are using AutoUpdate, does the computer only check for updates
each time you turn on the computer, or does it check every few
minutes?

P.S. I have XP sp2 and haven't gotten any updates and it's 8:05PM
which is weird.

That would depend upon how you're set it up

I got notification this morning, clicked to download the updates and haven't
seen the yellow shield since.

Just be patient, there are a few updates and many wanting them.

I'm set at "Notify me but don't...."
hence I can't select a time of day.

Check your windowsupdate.log as to when it last checked.

Otherwise just be patient or in the alternative, do a manual scan (although
that puts everyone else waiting for AU back in the queue).
