Suddenly, Power Point quit and the shut-down screen appeared stating that updates were being installed. After a couple of minutes the computer rebooted. This seems strange that Windows 7 would do this without the permission of the user. Is this the default behavior of Windows 7? "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

For me it notifies me and lets you delay updates. Maybe if he ignored critical security updates it would force them on you, but I doubt it.

I can't image someone turning on a feature like that. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Lots of people use auto-update for Win 7....but most of them know enough to turn it off when doing a presentation....along with any other auto feature that could cause a potential issue. Bet he fixes it before he does another one. People that know me call me Dan

The user would have to give it permission to download and install updates without asking. Not really a strange Win 7 thing, more like a strange user thing. I have auto update set to notify me of updates, I choose when to download and install. 5D MkII Gripped | 7D MkII Gripped | 200 f/2.8L | 17-40 f/4L | Σ 24-105 OS f/4 Art | Σ 50 f/1.4 Art | Σ 150-600 OS f/5-6.3 C | 430EX II

If his computer is a member of a company network, there are often updates, patches, policies that are forced on the client computers by the system administrators, etc. Taylor
