My computer currently has the "Click turn off to install updates and turn off your computer" on the shutdown options screen. Thing is, I have XP set to notify me when updates are available, but not download and install them. Is there any way I can see which updates would be installed should I click "install updates and turn off"?
Cheers
Alex
Why not just turn off automatic update altogether and visit Windows Update site every second Tuesday of the month? This way you can pick what updates you want.

That's true, but the way I have it set up, I can still install the updates which I choose, as the dialog box comes up asking for an express or custom install. I choose custom, obviously. Thing is, it seems to have just downloaded them this time without asking!

stuff happens! maybe another good reason to turn the auto crap off and leave it off!

JPW - your post didn't answer Alex2002's original question either. He asked Is there any way I can see which updates would be installed and you gave him the after installed answer.

XpUser,
"you gave him the after installed answer."No I didn't!!!
I I'm in the same situation that he is and so I did a little research and found that is where the updates are stored until you install them then they are placed in the C:\Windows Folder.I have my Auto Updates set to "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them".
And once downloaded I choose custom, where you have the choice to install only the updates you want.
And NO I Don't " JPW - you think you know it all, do you?"
I was trying to give him an answer instead of criticism.
