BobLewiston Posted March 31, 2010 ID:225101 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I booted up and got a message from Windows saying that it had done an automatic update that involved a reboot. But there was no mention of this when I last turned off the computer. It's not possible Microsoft turned on my computer to perform an update, is it? If not, then what happened here?

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted March 31, 2010 Root Admin ID:225102 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Windows Vista and Windows 7 both do updates during shutdown and startup as they seem fit. I'm sure there are actual rules as to when/why/what but it is quite normal for that response from the OS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroHin Posted April 3, 2010 ID:226562 Share Posted April 3, 2010 As AdvancedSetup mentioned it is normal. The message Windows generates can be inaccurate. It may state that the system initiated the system restart in order to complete the update, when in fact, I was the one who had shut down the night before, and then started my system the next day. The canned message should be deleted if the system restart is initiated by the user, but it often is not. I have also seen this happen under Windows XP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny125874 Posted April 4, 2010 ID:227210 Share Posted April 4, 2010 or you just have update automatically and then when its done it doesnt warn "accidently or normally " you and when you closed it(your computer) and reboot it says successfully updated...from my opinion thats what i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
