Given the attached screenshot, all you have to do is click on the words "1 important upgrade is available" and you would be able to see the list of updates (still important) and select one, if you want (check box to the left of it) and then back to the screen attached to see that you now have an update is selected for installation.
 
As for the words "1 optional update is available".

  • Error code 646 when installing the automatic/important updates for Windows Vista (with Service Pack 2)

    Recently, I received 646 error code when you try to install the important/automatic updates to Windows Vista. What patches are there for this issue? What risks are there to do not overcome this problem?

    rivercitylady,
    Usually with the code 646 error, if you download the update and install it manually that will fix the problem.
    Go to the Microsoft Download Center and search for the number of the update has failed.  Download on your PC, then run it from there. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    I ran several times automated convenience store. It corrects all but one of the problems found. It is said: problems installing updates, not been resolved in the report.

    I tried to restart the computer, but that did not help either.

    When I run windows update acts as he checks the updates, but does no progress. It is used to take a long time (2 1/2 hours or more) to find the updates. Now just, it works and does not stop.

    I did a manual reset of the update program earlier and it worked, but after the restart to install the updates, the computer would not start up.  I reformatted the computer by reinstalling the software and updates of everything. After obtaining service pack 2, Vista it starts having problems again.

    I'm just trying to get the secure computer til our new we get in about 2 weeks.

  • Updates for Windows Vista Ultimate.

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. When I got the machine, I installed the latest updates for Windows Vista. This caused a problem with the license and told me to ignore the updates for Windows Vista to avoid the problem again. Is this still the case and, if so, why does Windows Update not recognize that I have 'Ultimate' and stop of asking me to install more than 50 updates every time I turn on the machine?

    He was the one who told me that the problem was that I shouldn't download updated Vista because I had Vista Ultimate.

    Nonsense. It is VERY important to install all updates offered by Windows Update Service Packs and critical security.

    There will come a time soon when your computer will not be offered more updates at least that Vista SP1 is installed. A few years later, the same thing apply to Vista SP2.
