- - Windows Update. A yellow shield with a black exclamation point in the middle near the lower right corner of your desktop in the Notification area. This icon comes and goes. It appears when Windows Update is busy downloading or installing critical security updates intended to patch security holes and help keep your computer safe. When you touch the icon with your cursor, a bubble message tells you what Auto-Update is doing.
It may be busy downloading updates. Avoid logging off or shutting down your system until the download and installation are complete. If it has finished downloading updates, it may be waiting for the nod from you to install them. Click on the icon and tell it to go ahead. Or your computer may need to be restarted in order to complete the installation.
The sooner you restart your system, the sooner the updates will take effect.
Heads-up! The Auto-Update icon won't appear if Automatic Updating is turned off. Make sure Auto-Update is turned on and has the recommended
