my computer runs xp home and is set to receive updates automatically. The
time was set at 00:30 hrs - the computer is rarely on at this time. I have
two questions:
1) will the update happen whenever the computer is turned on or only at
00:30 hrs?
2) if I manually check for updates (once or twice a month) there are
ususally some available therefore they do not sem to be downloading
automatically. Why is this?
Thanks in advance.
