Windows Xp security center update.

[rick150]

Hello again people just a quick little question for you this time

My windows xp security center is set up to auto update and install at 3 AM. Now if i turn my computer off at night (something i sometimes do, sometimes i don't) and theres a patch released ready to be installed, will XP automatically retry to download and install next time my computer is turned on or will it wait until the next auto update time??

Either looking for a definative answer or a reference to somewhere i can read up on this to find out.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ricky

Would you believe it i look for an hour to find nothing so post question here. Once i posted a question the next web site i look at had the answer for me right there.


It seems if the power is off when update i scheduled then it will begin it (with promts) next time you log on!!!

Sorry People problem sorted

you may want to consider setting the Update to notify you and not automatically update.

select the Custom Install option and review the updates prior to installing them. sometimes a patch or update is rushed and can create more problems than it cures.
