Re: no sign of updates download or install

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Updates are not downloaded or the ?Automatic Updates? icon does not display the status of
downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service

During periods of heavy download traffic, the Automatic Updates service can reschedule
download requests on a day-to-day basis. This rescheduling can occur over several days.

|I have Automatic Updates on my Windows XP SP3 computer set to notify me of
| updates, not to download and install them. I received the recent
| notification, and about 20 minutes ago I clicked on the shield and then
| clicked to download the updates. The shield disappeared, and the hourglass
| flickered a couple times, and then nothing. Normally I'm asked if the
| downloads should be installed.
|
| How do I find out if the updates have been installed?
|
| Thank you!
