Using Automatic Updates to help protect your computer
For enhanced security, and to ensure that your computer always receives the latest updates in a timely manner, you should set up Automatic Updates so that it automatically downloads and installs critical updates as soon as they are released.
With Automatic Updates, Windows can routinely check for the latest important updates for your computer and install them automatically. These updates, which include critical updates and security updates, should be installed on your computer as soon as they are released, so that they can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.
Automatic Updates finds all important updates for your computer, including security updates, critical updates, and service packs, and installs them automatically, so that you don't have to search for them or worry that some might be missing.
To open Automatic Updates, click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Automatic Updates.
