I dont have the "automatic update" setting on.
I goto the Windows Update website a little once in a while to manually check for updates.

I have automatic updates turned on, however sometimes it can't download the updates therefore I still have to use the Windows Update website every now and then.
Complexity of incoherent design.

I always go to the site. I do the Custom version to make sure I get more than just the critical stuff. Works wonders when I need it and I check every so often.

Same here, sometimes automatic update is slower than the actually Windows Update site on releasing updates.

Can you PLEASE stop talking about having illeagal software. I'm about 98% sure that no one here has an illeagal copy of windows except you. This is not the forum for talking about that, this forum is for helping people with computer related problems and just learning in general.

I gotta agree with you. It's getting tiresome to constantly see.

Lunarsoft Rule 2. said:

This is not a warez site! Links/Requests to warez and/or illegal material (porn, cracks, serials, etc..) will not be tolerated. Discussion of circumventing activation/timebombs/keygens or any other illegal activity will also not be tolerated. If you ignore any of the aforementioned you will receive a final warning. If you choose to continue, you will be banned without notice.

MrG, want some help making a set of rules to post in the Announcements forum?

So far you're the only one. Stop promoting warez.
