All I was doing was looking for a picture that was on it for a project I

You can fix that by changing the update settings:


Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\Change settings\Check
for updates but let me choose when to install them



That's how I have it set up. When I fired it up a notification came up
telling me there were 30+ "important" Windows updates and asked me what
I wanted to do with them. Since I hadn't used it for almost 4 months I
installed them all.

Oh ... then after that was done, Java wanted to update also.
Then the Adobe Viewer wanted to update.
Then the AVG anti-virus wanted to update.

Just took a little time to update and install them all, that's all.
