To have Windows remind you about pending updates

•

When Windows notifies you that updates are available, click Remind Me Later in the Automatic Updates dialog box, prior to downloading or installing.

In the Reminder dialog box, you can specify the amount of time Windows should wait before reminding you.

•	If the reminder is for downloading, Windows reminds you only when you are connected to the Internet.
•	If the reminder is for installing, Windows reminds you on the schedule you specify.

Note

•	If you don't want to set a reminder, click Cancel.
