Windows Updater

To configure and schedule automatic updates from Windows Update, go to:
Control Panel > System > Automatic Updates tab, where you will also find
links to complete instructions for doing this. Windows will use your default
Internet connection. Note: You must be connected to the Internet at the time
updates are downloaded. The automatic updater does not connect to the
Internet on its own. Some updates might require that your computer be
restarted to complete the installation.
