Must be a new trend. Same reaction to my attempts to collect MS's announced
security updates. My auto updates won't get them either. Been away from this
computer for a month. Waited three days for these security updates in auto
then tried several times to get them manually. The MS site is so intense
about seeing if I have current update managed software and getting it's
spyware installed on my computer it can do nothing but say it is unable to do
anything. MS is so paranoid about illegal copies it now screws it's paying
customers. So weary of this.

What happens if you set AU to "download but don't install. Let me choose
what to install"?

I took your suggestion, Alias, about resetting auto updates. Found that it
was not where I left it from last visit to that page. Had changed back to
MS's preferred mode, that is that I just let them do what they want, send to
me and install without my knowing it has happened. Also found, I could not
change scheduled time from
"Everyday at 3am" to anything else. Won't change, went into my own computer
and tried to reset to download but notify me so I can install at my choice.
It won't change either. Does this sound like a problem to you? I mean it
looks like it changes but when I go back to check it, it has reverted to
download and install without any notice to me. Don't you just love MS?
