• Can I stop a downloaded update to install when I shut down my computer?

  My setting of update "Download updates but let me choose whether to install" I want to keep it this way. Lately, I noticed that when I click Start, stop, there is a small yellow exclamation point or shield on the close button and when you hoover over closed, he says that Windows will install the updates and then stop. It doesn't give you a choice.
  Is it possible to stop without having to install the update until you know what the update is all about, that might not be immediately. Can go you to Windows Update and hide the update, that would be a pain in the neck, if there is more than one?
  Or is it somehow a way to get rid of this or these until you are able to check and see what the update or updates are on?

  Thank you

  No, they are not... By clicking on the updates hidden restore opens ONLY the 'Quarentine', where they are seated. :-)

  Then you choose what was updated, you want to install, by marking and click Restore... Sorry - my Windows 7 is Danish, but I hope, you understand it anyway:

  

  I have a LOT of optional updates and recommended in my 'Quarentine', as you can see...

  "Valgfri" = optional

  "Anbefalet" recommended =

• Updates Windows - installed but the versions are not updated

  I was away for a week.  Booted up my laptop.  Any updates, click on it to install it.  He failed.  Judge again. Failed.  I rebooted, updates came and installed successfully.  I have a program that checks the versions of the outdated software and it shows that several versions of Microsoft software are up-to-date.  By example, one, is IE11.  When I go to IE11 it shows the old version.  I click to manually install the update, KB3087038, but it says it is installed.  I haven't checked all the other updates - but they are NET Framework, Excel, Windows7, and Media Center, of which most were in the last update of windows.  I don't know even how to check for the latest version on some of them.  How can I know if my system is really updated or correct this problem?

• Again downloaded updates via tune but now the laptop slow

  I downloaded some updates via LPD for programs such as Cyberlink Youcam. It has frozen several times but finally loaded and installed. Now my laptop is wobbly. It is slow, and when I watch/stream Netflix or Youtube, fan runs fast.

  Unfortunately the Windows updates do not cover YouCam and Cyberlink etc. You may have to contact HP support.

  What is the difference between Windows^® updates and HP Support Assistant?

  Two updates are important and cover the different aspects of your computer. Windows updates are limited to updates of the operating system. HP Support Assistant provides software updates specifically related to your HP or Compaq computer, including software updates for HP driver updated and BIOS updates.

  In rare cases, for example an update driver software, Windows and HP Support Assistant, try to provide the same update. The two applications will check, however, if the new version of the driver is already installed. If it were, nor application download or reinstall the driver.

• in what sequence should I download and install the Vista updates?

  I want to download updates for vista, but there are more than 70 who downloads the oldest published in 2007. should I download it all and make steps of Cissé to sequnces? (I downloaded and instaled 6 of these updates, but they were all for the 05/05/2009, so what precedents?)

  When I did the updates in the past, I would leave all Windows update download all and leave it to determine the order of installation.  But based on the number of updates, I suggest to get the criticals those first.

• where windows update download files to install?

  I have Windows Update set to automatically download files to install, but not to install actually automatically as it never fails he made them while I'm in the middle of an online game and I'm kicked out the game to restart.

• Win XP Pro will download updates but install fails

  I have a problem with win xp pro. When I download updates they will download but the installation fails. At the same time when I would shut down the computer, it would be the installation of the updates. Now she even won't do it. Is the a link to the updates, where I can download updates and install them manually? I think I did it once but I forgot to bookmark the link. Now all I get is there is no update available.  I have the auto download and install settings, so I don't know if I'll keep updating the value. Is there a way to check my updates are up-to-date. Also, I ran fixit and he could not solve the problem. Thanks in advance

• Windows Update will download but not install. However, stand-alone updates will install fine.

  Download updates very well, but after that, they fail to install immediately. It seems to go so fast that he does not even try to install downloaded updates. I did everyting for repair/upgrade to update / save the components associated with the windows updates and microsoft Setup. I also deleted the cache update and downloaded fresh copies of the updates, but still no instlal. I even did a repair install on xp at a given time. The machine had a malware infection, but I healed part, including purging the master boot record and wiping the boot sector. I am really puzzled at that time and any direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you
