I have automatic updates turned ON.
When I tried to turn off the system for the day, I saw the message "on not power off or shut down the computer; installing 1 of 21 updates". So I went to bed leaving the computer on, and to my horror, this morning IT WAS STILL INSTALLING 18 of 21 UPDATES!
What I am supposed to do now? I am scared to turn off the system.
On a few earlier occasions, after an update, the system required booting from the original CD. At other times, my wife simply shut down the system and started again, then it worked without the boot CD.
Please help me resolve the present problem first. Then please tell me if I can turn off automatic updates, and if so, what I should do to get updates that are mandatory. I am really sick of this unnecessary round about way of doing this.
Thanks for your help. I am NOT a computer professional.
