Microsoft provides an easy way of downloading updates to their operating systems, as well as other common Microsoft desktop applications via the Web. To manually access the Windows Update Web site, start Internet Explorer, then select Windows Update from the Tools menu. If you do not have a link to Windows Update, the Web address is http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/. Note that you must use Internet Explorer to access the Windows Update page; you cannot use a different Web browser (e.g. Firefox).
To ensure that critical updates are downloaded and installed in a timely manner, we strongly recommend you set the Automatic Updates Control Panel to automatically download and install "critical" updates for your system on a daily basis. Your computer needs to be on at the time you set the updates to run, and some updates may require a restart of your computer. It is always a good idea to save or close any open files when you will be away from your computer for any period of time to avoid losing your work.
