My automatic updates are set to run on a certain day at a given time, but they seem to run when they like, which slows everything down to a standstill. Why does this happen?

It is configured to run on Sunday at 10:00 he had run tonight at 7.00 p .m

Val,
Make sure you have Latest Windows Update Agent.  You can change the setting to download and then provide information to install just to check that it is downloading at the right time.  Also, if you run Windows update, then select the 'review your update history' to see if an update had failed and that they had tried to install up to this date.
