For the last two weeks I have received automatic updates every night when I

shut my computer off. Does Microsoft really send out updates every day for

Windows xp or is there something wrong with my computer? Bobby

I have not received an automatic update in a couple of weeks. If an update

does not install properly, auto update will keep trying on subsequent days.

Maybe that's what's happening.

Re: Windows xp automatic update service

 

The last couple of days I've been getting the update icon show up on my

desktop in the clock area. I download and install, says installation

complete, but the icon doesn't go away. I went to windows update site and

check on my history of updates and found the same update had been downloaded

7 or 8 times. Can anyone help me with this problem, would really appreciate

it as this is driving me batty.

Re: Windows xp automatic update service

 

Something's wrong with your computer (unless Windows Defender's installed;

even then, Defender should only update twice a week via Automatic Updates).

 

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or

anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot Tea Timer,

AVG Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before

attempting to install the update(s). If you disable the third-party

firewall, make certain that you enable the Windows Firewall!

Thanks. I disabled my Avast anti-virus software and my Norton firewall and

enabled Windows firewall but I still have the same update attempt at each

shutdown. Do you have any other recommendations?

Re: Windows xp automatic update service

 

I checked Windows Update Support. I went to Windows Update on my computer

and "Review your update history." My update history shows 20-30 consecutive

security updates labeled "KB936181" all of which suceeded with no failures or

error codes. Still they keep popping up every time I shut down the computer.

My history shows no failures for the last 50-60 updates.
