(-:              > Regards,       >        > Roger              Some win7 computers have been changed to the non approval automatic       updates.        Here is a blip form MS:              The July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and       Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 was re-released on September 13, 2016 to       address an issue in one of the included updates and to improve the       overall reliability of the update rollup. Installing this update requires       a restart after installation.              Important If you use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System       Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to deploy updates, you have       Automatically approve new revisions of approved updates enabled on your       WSUS or SCCM environment, and you have already deployed KB3172605       automatically when it was initially released in July 2016, this revision       will automatically deploy and require a restart after installation. You       can disable the automatic approval setting for this update rollup if you       don't intend to automatically deploy the revision of this update rollup       and its required restart. Please notice that disabling this setting would       require a manual review and approval of any revisions.                            --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: DocsPlace.org Since 1991 | QWK VIA Web Browser (1:123/140)    |
