I can't change the schedule for Windows update

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I want windows to automatically download the updates for me. For some
reason, the Windows update was corrupted so I had to go to
C:\windows\Download Program Files to update the damage files.
Right now, Windows downloads the files and lets me decide when to
install them. I want Windows to download and install automatically.

But I can't figure how to change this setting.

thanks
