Updates are invisible, and vannot be picked. can install important since they are automatically chosen but I cannot see them. Is there a setting that can hide them or have my windows update bugged?

Hi, Can you post which W7 you are using. And any more info you can think of, Slan go foill, Paul

I'm having a hard time understanding you. One thing you can try is to press the WinKey+R and type: wuauclt /detectnow You can change the settings by going to Control Panel >Windows Update and then click on "Change Settings" to the right.

sorry was a bit tired when I wrote the question. Running win7 rc 64, and its updates thats not showing, says I have 32 optional but cannot see them. Mostly language packs and 1 ati driver if I remeber correctly. Important updates are automatically chosen so they are installed even tho I can't see what they are I cannot see what updates are available and what it wants to install, just that there is some

You are seeing this in Control Panel >Windows Update? You can change the settings there to "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them" and this will offer a list when updates become available. Supposedly turning off automatic updating makes your computer less secure in case there is a critical update which is being sent out, but since MS only sends out updates the second Tuesday of each month, this seems unlikely.

Run Windows Update and click Scan updates. You will see a screen like following:Click 15 important updates are available, you should see this:If you cannot see the second screen, please try to take following suggestion to troubleshoot the issue. 1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.2. If you receive a notification from User Account Control simply click Continue.3. At the command prompt, type the following, command and then press ENTER. net stop wuauservren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistributionold net start wuauserv 5. Restart the computer to test the problem. Hope it helps.
