If you have a close look at the settings for xp and w7, you will see that the selections, and in fact the wording is
almost identical.

If you set your xp settings way back when, then you may have forgotten that you actually had selected years ago, one of
the "not auto update" settings.

As they are default set to "Auto Update" on a fresh system, that is what they will do.

A trap nevertheless.

it all.

Suffice it to say, nano-seconds after the berating had subsided, I changed the
update settings to manual...
