General

Under Automatic Windows Updates you can specify whether Windows should automatically establish
a connection with Microsoft or not. If Enable automatic Windows Updates is activated, Windows
may then establish automatic contact with the Microsoft server as soon as there is an Internet
connection, in order to check if there are any updates for your system.
The Notify before downloading updates option should be enabled if you want to be asked
permission before Windows downloads available updates from the Internet.
