Re: auto updates and limited user

Okay, now if it is installed and updated with all the vs, ts, adware and spyware scanners in the admin account, where is the user to run it from?

If run from the admin account, will that check all the limited accounts in every case? And if not, will all of those programs run properly from the limited account?

End question: If it needs to be installed and updated in the admin, but run in both admin and limited, will the user do so without getting confused?
Since we're only talking about Automatic Updates for Windows, the answers are simply:

1. The user DOESN'T, except during that single weekly log-in as administrator.

2. Nothing is "checked". The updates are installed, and they will apply to all users.

3. The updates do not need to be re-run for each user. (Again, we're talking about Automatic Updates for Windows, NOT antispyware apps.)

4. The user won't get confused because once the Windows updates are applied they will be in effect for all users.

Having said all this, it won't suprise me at all to find that it's partially wrong, and that some functions must be re-established for each user (much as is the case with MS Office).

 Does AU download the critical updates in non-admin

I am a little confused by this.

Will AU download the needed updates when a user is online in non-admin mode?

I understand that the updates may need admin privileges to be actually installed. But, does the AU service atleast download the needed updates in non-admin mode?
