Installing Updates

[zebo]

I've noticed recently that whenever I log off, there is an update waiting to be installed, even if it's only a couple of minutes since I last logged off. Is something going on that I should be aware of, I've never been aware of this happening so regularly until the last few weeks?

I guess you mean restart or shut down rather than log off?..... otherwise, restart of shut down the computer.

What annoys me is a not dissimilar situation whereby I leave the PC and go to bed, and in the morning MS has rebooted it, presumably as a result of an update I haven't "OKed" a reboot for. Cheeky so & sos.

Then change windows update settings...

Where ? Which ? I'll do it immediately.

One reason could be the updates being unsuccessful - so they will keep tryng until it succeeds.

Without knowing what version of windows impossible to say.

Make sure you keep receiving important updates but turn off the auto restart.
