| Install all critical windows updates Is there a way in XP/Vista/7/8 to have the computer check for critical updates, install them, then reboot (if necessary), check again, install, reboot, etc?
When I do a reinstall, it would be nice to set the computer to just download and install all critical updates without having to be there.

| You can set to download and install everything automatically, but it may not check for new upgrades right away.

I never tried it but found »www.wuinstall.com/ which is a utility that appears to allow you to download and install the updates, reboot, rinse and repeat.
Just something I found and not sure how effective it will be. Like you, it is a very time consuming thing that requires baby sitting. My dad recently got a Windows 8 desktop and it seemed to only require 2 restarts to apply all updates. I imagine over time that could increase as well.

Not sure if this is what you want but I found a tool that is very helpful for if you got to reinstall Windows and don't feel like downloading all the updates again and again and again. It really saves the bandwidth.

| First download with all the updates is very long though. |
