Windows Update In Windows 7 Part II

Windows Updates is a great feature of Microsoft operating systems that allows you to easily keep your system up to date and secure. In the previous installment of this article, I showed you how to configure Windows Updates through the Control Panel. In this article, I’ll show you alternate method to configuring Windows Update.

Windows Update can be configured through the Local Group Policy. More experienced users may want to use this method instead using the Control Panel. You can configure Windows Update settings through the Local Group Policy using the steps outlined below:

1. Type gpedit.msc in the search box on the Start menu and press Enter.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Update.
3. In the details pane, double click Configure Automatic Updates.
4. Click Enabled.
5. Click OK.

Similar to configuring Windows Update through the Control Panel, when you enabled Windows Updates through the Local Group Policy, you also have the ability to configure how and when updates are downloaded and installed on your computer.
