1. Comment - Experts Astonished to Learn Windows Update Updates Itself

   thank you for correcting me (and the article too).
   
   I think the point still holds that the issue is : even when you turn off automatic updating it still updates. and it didn't happen the last 5 or 6 years, it's only occurs on latest version of AU, particularly version 7.0.6000.381.

   Most people here says that It's been done years or so, but that is not the actual issue.
   If you read the WindowsSecrets link you'll find out that this only occurs after users install the latest version of Windows Updates, version 7.0.6000.381 (and in the article Microsoft said that users can no longer update through Windows Update if they have older version).
   In this particular version even if you turn off Automatic Updates from System Properties it's still updating.

   It's different you dumbas*, it's WSUS not AU,
   do you even read the article?
   While most users know they have the option to turn AU off, it's not the same with WSUS, it's undocumented, and to turn it off you have to be pretty advanced to figure it out your self (that is by opening services.msc). That's what the issue is about. I don't mind the automatic updating, but I mind that people might get the wrong information from your stupidity.
