Problem with Automatic updates

[Craig]

In the past two weeks, I have encountered screen freezing after automatic
update.
In each case, system restore was performed to the previous restore point.
Then, no more freezing.
I am wondering what causes the freezing. I also wish to learn how to fix
this problem.
I am now afraid of using automatic windows update.

Just because there updates does not always mean you need
to install them. Always read the warning before
downloading any update to your system. I would suggest
starting over and making sure you have the latest service
packs and go from there,

Dear Ron,

There seems to be a misunderstanding.
I did not update manually. It is an AUTOMATIC Update.
The only thing which I see is that "update is ready to install" like that.
There was no warning whatsoever.
I assume that automatic update is supposed to be trouble-free.
