Automatic updates

You can change your updates from automatic to install what you want.  This tutorial is for the people who want to change their settings.

First click on the start icon (multicolored flag) on lower left side of the screen.  Then click on CONTROL PANEL on the lower right side of the start dialog box.   Next click on the multicolored shield called SECURITY CENTER.   The icons are arranged alphabetically.   There are four choices.  First is FIREWALL, you want this one.   Second is  AUTOMATIC  UPDATING,  you click on this one and chose something that states download buy let me choose which to install.   There is a list of change settings. YOU can choose what you feel is best for you.  A person will get all kind of verbal crap from MS about how that is altered but just ignore it.   The third choice is MALWARE PROTECTION, I have that on.  The last is OTHER SECURITY SETTINGS, I have that clicked on.    You get all kind of things from MS and you can decide what you need.    If you install one at a time, then go and see if it has done anything negative to your computer you can uninstall it.  It takes a while but for me it is worth the hassle.  

My brother in law Bill says all the constant updating of programs that are working fine causes a problem that the geeks call "bleeding around the edges."   So the philosophy is  if it is not broke don't fix it.   New and improved does not mean better.
