Title: windows automatic updates
Post by: Rod ONeal on December 19, 2007, 02:29:16 pm: Hi,
I have windows xp sp2 and have always had it set to automatically dl updates but not to install them automatically. I used to pick what updates I wanted and disregard the rest. Well, it appears that option has been removed. Now it's automatically DL and install or disable auto-update all together. Am I missing something? Is there another screen that I can go to and set updates the way I used to have it?

If anyone can tell me I'd appreciate it. Microsoft's help page isn't updated and tells you to do something that the current security settings page doesn't have options for.

You will have 4 options.
Automatic
Download them for me, but let me choose what to install
Notify Me, but do not download or install
Turn Off.

I believe you will want the option to Download them for you but let you choose what to install
