You can set your settings to have windows update notify you when critical updates have been released -- but they won't be downloaded automatically.

Go to THIS PAGE and change your settings.

They notify you that they are ready to be downloaded. You can click download now or just ignore them. It's best to install critical updates ASAP.

P.S. I'm a dudette.

Yes, you can set it for manual update and automatic update. Just check that you want to set it to run manually at your command.

turn off automatic updates all together....and use the windows update link from the start menu....once you get to the windows update page...select the custom option....and that will let you select which updates to download
