Hey!
Anyone else had this problem...every time I switch my computer off, it does updates. That's every SINGLE time...and it's always 11, or more sometimes. :eek: I mean, I know that it does happen sometimes, but if it is every time, does that mean there's a problem with it?
Help me pleaseeee :)

It sounds like the updates are failing to install. Go to the start menu, type in Windows Update, click it, and click View Update History. Does it say for any of them under Statues, "Failed" or are they all "Successful"?

You just need to change your windows update settings, basically what it sounds like it is doing is downloading and installing them automatically.

Ok thanks. So, do I just need to change them from 'automatic' to 'manual' ?

You could try it and see what happens.
I'm curious to know what it is set at now?

It should give you the option to see what the problem was/is. But if it's failing that could be why it keeps prompting you also.
