<\/p>\nThis tutorial will show you how to configure Microsoft Windows XP Automatic Updates. The main reason that you want to install updates automatically is for security. Microsoft will regularly release patches to the operating system, and you can have them installed for you with no hassle.<\/p>\n
First, right click on the \u201cMy Computer\u201d icon on your desktop and select the \u201cProperties\u201d option.
\n<\/p>\n
Click on the Automatic Updates tab.
\n
<\/p>\n
The Automatic Updates Settings will be displayed.
\n
<\/p>\n
I recommend using the automatic setting, but if you want more control you can choose either \u201cDownload updates for me, but let me choose when to install them\u201d or \u201cNotify me but don\u2019t automatically download and install them.\u201d<\/p>\n
For this tutorial we will choose automatic, so you will need to click the option button next to \u201cAutomatic (recommended)\u201d.
\n
<\/p>\n
Next you will have to select how often you want Windows to check fro updates using the drop-down menu. I will choose everyday.
\n
<\/p>\n
Next you will have to choose the time. I usually choose a time that I don\u2019t plan on using the computer, but anytime is good.
\n
<\/p>\n
When you are finished click the Ok button to exit. Your computer will now stay current with automatic updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
