Windows Updates

[Mike Benton]

I want to manage which updates are applied to my pc. However, the Windows
Defender update I would like to be applied automatically. It's bad enough
that it seems like almost every day I have to update the machine. I really
don't want to be bothered with this.

By default, Windows Defender looks for updates prior to a scan. If
available, the update is installed and the scan commences.

Hi,

You can't separate them. The Automatic Update and the degree to which it
goes is either on for all critical updates or it's off.

I agree Mike. I can have my AV software update automatically but not
Defender. I dual boot XP/Vista at least once a day and the many Defender
updates get a bit annoying. But it's only 3 clicks.
