Windows Update Automatically Changing User Settings
Monday, 15. October 2007, 13:11:31
Several blogs said that Windows users who thought they had automatic updates set had their machines pached and rebooted.
Microsoft said that Aoutomatic Update Mechanism is no change. And the company also said that recent update didn't change Automatic Update settings.
The company is looking into whether customers might have actually had their settings changed by Microsoft Office or Windows OneCare, two programs that do have mechanisms that will change a computer's automatic update preference settings.
Meanwhile, in a separate posting, Clinton acknowledged that some people are having trouble manually installing updates after moving to the latest version of Windows Update.
