I'm using XP with firewall active and auto updates on.
The lower right yellow shield would say occasionally, "Updates are ready for your computer." When I click, it pops up a MS window giving me express install or custom options.
I have heard that dialup updates may be as much as a day long. Also, some updates crash due to some bugs.
Why doesn't MS provide a ballpark estimate of my download time both for HS and dialup.?, which is why I'm reluctant. How long will it take their program to come to the conclusion I'm not interested.? It can do this by determining what's running and how many times I've ignored the message.
Lastly, how do I know it's really MS that's sending the message.?
