BY DEFAULT, WINDOWS UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY PLACES INTO YOUR DOWNLOAD“BASKET” ANY ITEMS IT FINDS THAT FALL INTO THE CRITICAL UPDATES AND SERVICEPACKS CATEGORY
2. By default, Windows Update automatically places into your download“basket” any items it finds that fall into the Critical Updates and ServicePacks category. This does not mean, however, that it can install them allat once or that you must install them at all. To see what items havebeen identified and selected as Critical Updates or Service Packs, clickthe Critical Updates or Service Packs link to get the page shown inFigure 8.77. Notice that Internet Explorer Service Pack 1 (the first itemselected) is one of those items that is mutually exclusive and must bedownloaded and installed separately from the rest of the selecteditems. In this case, you need to either remove all other items from yourdownload list or remove the one specific item. We recommendchecking the entire list to make sure that other items are not mutuallyexclusive and that the list contains only the items you want to down-load. You can read more about any item by clicking the Read morelinkat the end of the item’s description.
