  Original title: optional update Canon printer FAX

  I installed a Canon printer and installed an update about it (FAX) on 10 times that he says was a "successful installation".  Then I run the update again, and it appears again as an optional installation.  Why?

  Hi TerryNobleUJ,

  1 Windows operating system you are using?

  2. What is the number of the printer model?

  You can see the links in Support of Canon and try to download and install the latest version of drivers for your printer.

  After you have installed the drivers manually, restart the computer and check if it is available in the windows updates.

• Optional updates are not displayed.

  Hello, I'm on a new install of windows 7 64-bit ultimate. Logged on as administrator, all the important updates are installed and update history. But it's not the option tab appears after updates.

  Windows update settings menu offers only two choices-

  -Install the updates automatically (recommended) Drop Down Menu w/day & time

  -Who can install updates w / a single checkbox (allow all users to install updates on this computer)

  There isn't any choice to view optional updates... Any ideas?

  There is a saying if it's not broke don't try to fix it.

  Updates are in three flavors.

  The first are important, or criticism, updates, which arerequired for installation in order to correct the flaws of security or important issues within Vista.

  The second type is recommended updates, which are updates of various components of the operating system thatneeds to be installed for proper functionality.

  The last type, called optional updates, are new features, updates or Ultimate Extras which arenot required for the proper functioning of the operating system or applications

  Do not install any driver updates offered by Windows Update. Find them in the manufacturer's website instead.

• Do I need to install the optional updates?

  I never downloaded Realtek, silverlight, powershell or windows live essentials. I need to download for future use? Thanks for any help. I have windows vista service pk2, 32-bit.

  You don't have to install optional updates. They will be there if you have a need for them in the future.

  Siliverlight will probably nag you from time to time on Web sites, you can study the Realtek with the manufacturer's website to see if you really need (but it's optional), the rest just keep them if you wish or find a need for them later you can install then.

• During the audit of the optional updates, the Updates MS page is not a custom option

  Since I was MS Security Essentials started running every day, I was not surprised to see the following excerpt from page Update MS: no high-priority updates are available for your computer. To check the optional updates, go back to the home page, and then click CUSTOM. When I return to my home page, I can't find the word "CUSTOM" anywhere. Where is he?

  Original title: MS Updates?

   
  Hello
   
  Once you open the Windows Update page by clicking Start -> all programs -> Windows Update, you will get a page with two options - Express and custom. You must click on the option to custom on this screen to accomplish what you are trying to do.
