Look, it is the default upon installing. They need to go back and undo it to try this automatic download and they can't do that if they don't know about it.
Get over yourself.
No, it's not. I just bought a brand new HP laptop over the weekend, and specifically had to accept the offer to receive and install automatic updates. I did of course, and recommend everyone does, but it was not "forced" upon me, as you keep insisting. Get over myself? As usual I'm just setting the facts straight, for some reason some people are so filled with their hate of Microsoft they start making false claims, and a claim that automatic updates are "forced" on anyone is an obviously false claim.
