No automatic updates

[Mark Salloway]

Hi Daniel,
The automatic update service may not be running on your computer. Go to
start > run and type in services.msc
The scroll down the list to automatic updates. Double click on this and
ensure the startup type is set to automatic and the service is started. See
if that helps

Hi Daniel,

Start/run msconfig, is that service enabled on the services tab?

Thanks Mark & Rick,
Got Auto-Updates back. 1st I ran the services.msc command & turned it on
then I ran the msconfig command to check it out after rebooting.
