Configure Automatic Updates to Download and Install Updates for Your Computer

What?

I’ve configured Automatic Updates on my Windows system to automatically download updates for me when they’re released by Microsoft, but let me choose when to install. After that all I am left with is just keep a check on a yellow icon that appears in the notification area far right of the taskbar near time display whenever new updates are available for my system. When you hover your mouse pointer over it, the following message is displayed – “Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to install these updates.”

Automatic Update Notification message - Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to install these updatesUpon clicking, you’ll be presented with two option to choose from, that decides the way you want to install updates on your computer. There is Express Install which is recommended of the two and also Custom Install for advanced users. Choose your desired mode of installation and click Install.

After initialization of the installation is done and install process has started, you can find the updates icon in the notification area showing installing updates message.
