Hello, I have a question about the option in windows security center. The
option that says notify me but do not download or install them. I get the
notification and select the button to download them. Then the little yellow
shield goe away and I never see them again. Anyone have any idea where they
are downloaded and what steps I have to take to install them. I am not even
sure I am downloading them at all and this worries me. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
 
Have you checked your history on the WU site to see what has actually been
installed?

The downloads are temporarily installed in the
C:\windows\softwaredistribution\downloads folder.

When downloading is complete, then the Windows Update icon appears in the
notification area again, this time to let you know that the updates are
ready to be installed.
