updating

When I read that to receive automatic uodayes, I must
leave my computer switched on at the indicated time, do I
also need to be connected to the internet?

Jenny;
Yes, since the updates come from Microsoft servers.

Jenny,

If your automatic updates come from the internet (not from a local SUS server),
and if you have a home LAN I'd bet yours is internet sourced, then yes, you do
have to be connected to the internet when getting updates.

If you're on a corporate LAN, then your IT group should tell you if they have a
SUS server setup.

Cheers,
Chuck
