I guess I don't get when this changed and why.<br />
Yes you have that option on Windows 10 but on WIndows 7 when did that option start?<br />
I thought that with Windows 7 if you tell it to download updates but not install them unless I tell you to that it will not install them unless you specify that.

It has been that way on 7 as long as I remember.<br />
<br />
I actually like how it works and typically use that setting. &nbsp;Previously I used the &quot;notify me...&quot; option and found that clients rarely installed updates. &nbsp;This way they install them when they shut down the computer at the end of the day.

Hello all,<br />
I have several clients that do not have a file server so I cannot do a WSUS for the Windows updates.<br />
I have selected to download updates but let me choose when to install them.<br />
That option is being ignored because every time they reboot it installs updates.<br />
How can I overcome this? &nbsp;Are there registry settings that I can go to and fix this?<br />
Thanks,<br />
