Windows Update not notifying me of new updates

I have updating configured to notify me of new updates but not install them
however I am never being notified. I can manually run Update and install
the new updates but the notification icon never appears of its own accord.

I know your first thought would be that some rogue process has blocked the
notifications but I have always used AV and anti-spyware programs and I have
run all manner of detection sweeps since I first noticed the problem and no
suspicious items are found. Also, I would have expected that the rogue
process would have prevented me from installing updates altogether.

Any ideas on why I am not being notified of new updates?

I'll cross-post this to microsoft.public.windowsupdate for you

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.
