Anyway I had 2 optional updates to take and decided to take them. One was cumulative updates that was 120mb. 120mb normally takes around 10 to 15 minutes with my slow 780kb connection but this time it took less then 5 minutes which seem very strange to me. I did a speedtest.net test right after and found that my speed was only around 680kb so pretty much impossible for 120mb to download in 5 minutes.
That left me wondering whether one of the recent updates had changed my update settings from "ask before downloading" to "download and ask before installing" but that setting was still set to ask before downloading or installing.
I'm wondering whether microsoft has decided to ignore our settings and to download without permission. I read about how they had started making W7 and Vista updates cumulative updates instead of individual ones so that we would be force to take all updates instead of only the ones we wanted so I wonder if they decided to take the next step and download them too.
Byron have you notice any abnormality with your updates on W7 ?
