Updates are not downloaded or the "Automatic Updates" icon does not display
the status of downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910340>
Note that if you leave your machine up & running 24/7, AU could take
considerably longer to offer the updates, especially when lots of them have
been released. If you don't reboot, AU will only sync with the server
once-a-day (i.e., every 17 to 22 hours). If you do reboot, AU will sync
with the server at startup, every time you restart.
