    Would like a notification of a pending update before download begins


    Is there an option in Windows update to notify me that there is an update available? When a large update, such as the Windows 10 Version 2004, begins to download, it ties REALLY SLOWS DOWN the internet connection and ties up the laptop. I would like to be able to determine when downloads occur so I can plan accordingly.


    In Windows 7, there was an icon on the task bar saying that an updates was available and we could pick when to do the download.

    :)

  2. (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.

  3. ..where'd my 'pending windows updates' notifications go?

    I was looking in the Restart options, and mine are off. Maybe that's where you turn it on to get them like we used to? It's only showing that a restart in needed, but not if there are pending updates to install.
