Windows 10: How do I set Windows 11 to automatically download and install updates?

I suppose I've misunderstood the function of toggling ON the "get the latest updates as soon as they're available" option: thinking that any updates would be downloaded and installed automatically. When I checked several days later, there was a long list of updates, none of which had been downloaded or installed yet. How do I set Windows 11 to automatically download and install updates? BTW, the active hours adjust automatically.Thank you

:)

windows automatic updates

i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?

 

Automatic Updates

They are installed automatically if that is the way you have Automatic Updates set.

I have AU set as download them, but let me choose when to install.

Is that what you meant when you said they are installed automatically?


As to your question Lillebror, I searched for a way to start the Automatic Updates, but really wasn't successful.
