I have my "Automatic Updates" setting to

I thought I would get a list of the updates, or is this
only when I have the setting set to
"Notify me but don't automatically download or install them"

No - you can still choose what to install - but not from the shutdown. The 'Updates Available' yellow shield will likely appear if you shut down and then later power back up and log in as an administrator.

That's what I thought/hoped, but no appearance... is there a way
to force it?
