Off topic/ not related to Avast/Windows Update

I’ve done a lot of searches about this issue but could never find the information I need. I haven’t received any Windows Updates since Jan. 9. It’s set to automatic update. I’ve checked for updates many times but it always shows their are 4 optional updates. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Thank you.

January 9th was the last date for windows update for me as well.
Generally Microsoft releases windows updates on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, depending where you live for example I live in Australia and don’t receive updates till Wednesday.

Next updates due Tuesday Feb 12th or Wednesday Feb 13th for me. Cause of Time differences.

On some occasions Microsoft releases " Out Of Band updates" but this is not very often.

cheers

Thank you. :slight_smile:

and change the update time setting to a time you know it is on…
on work computers i usually sett it to lunch time…so when you are back from lunsch it has installed and rebooted

the optional updates you have to decide if you want…there should be some info about them if you click them

Hi Pondus,

My computer is always on.

I’ve clicked on the optional updates but I don’t want them.

then just let them be…

What updates and why don’t you want them ???

They’re updates for my printer and one for Bing Bar.

I can understand not updating or installing the Bing Desktop search but,
Why don’t you want to update the driver for your printer ???

My printer is working just fine so don’t feel the need to update the driver. I have a new one still in the box that I’ll hook up if, or when I start having problems with the one I’m using now.

Well, I got 1 update today and it was Internet Explorer 10. Don’t know that could have happened because I didn’t download it.

If you want,You can Right click on each update that you don’t want and choose hide. That way you won’t see them.
