   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.
