Hi Stephen,

It sounds like it may be proxy related. When Automatic Update is set to
"Download and prompt me to install" option is ran in a Local User context
versus the Automatic Update schedule option which uses the Local System
context. Let's compare the ProxyServer and ProxyOverride key settings in
the following registry keys:

Local User context:
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings
Local System context:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings
