Guest Bobby Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 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

If an update does not install properly, auto update will keep trying on subsequent days. Maybe that's what's happening.
Guest wmcmillion Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 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. -- WandaMac "Ideology separates us; dreams and anguish brings us together".

Guest Bobby Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Re: Windows xp automatic update service 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?

Guest Bobby Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 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.
