Are you saying that you can't run a manual check for updates via the Start
menu shortcut or that a manual check for updates doesn't offer any updates?

No. It didn't show me the list of updates before and it doesn't show me
now. Just take a look at the screen shot.

You need to post a link for NNTP users to know what you are seeing
and would like them to see.  All that we get is this:

Subject: RE: windows update won't show updates

I've got the same problem, and I never install something I can't check first.
(I know it is only the windows defender update, but it is a matter of
principles :P)

Here's what can be seen (or not seen in this situation) (and yeah, french
version):

1st page when clicking on the task bar icon:
http://h3qmzw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p7JKDjPkqhsKTE8rG9V8I-Z_5vvbLTV...

2nd page, where I could normally see all upadates available (in this
exemple, only one should be listed, but there's none):
http://h3qmzw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p7JKDjPkqhsLc6XgKMMT5oiPkmwPP2V...

Thanks :)

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems
instead of hijacking someone else's thread.  State your IE version and full
Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2) in your first post.

PS: And post your question via this link, too:

No thanks... It wasn't a question, only a supplement of information for the
first post. You should try to help him instead.
As I already said I have the exact same thing, so why should I bother
reposting it again? One thread per problem is enough, if someone answers to
this one, everybody will be happy. :)

PS: I dont like ms news feeds. And I don't use IE.

Only if everybody really does have the same problem.  Just because the reported
symptoms are the same doesn't mean the cause is the same.  Experience has shown
that, on the whole, one thread per person is the most effective approach.

> PS: I dont like ms news feeds. And I don't use IE.

I don't see any particular advantage to accessing this newsgroup via the web
interface over accessing it via the MS NNTP servers, even when the web interface
is working properly (which it isn't at present, I've heard).  What is your
concern about the NNTP servers?

   Harry.

Please stop arguing and answer the guy's question already! Information eager
people like me (and Trepa Hualm, I guess) would like to have this knowledge
and check for ourselfs. Why? Just the kind a guy I am. I can't speak for
others, though. In addition, why else is this forum public? If you want it
personal, make it personal and go email. Just my 2ct.

Oh and by the way, just so you know. I experience the exact same "symptoms".
Also after the update of WM update itself.

Thank you

That's how I work: One thread per poster, even if the thread's about the
same update and Windows version.

If you don't like it, ignore my posts...and/or begin a new thread about
/your/ problem and Windows version.

You're welcome.

I don't know if this is a new sympton or not, but sometimes it show's the
update list and sometimes windows update won't show update list. Doesn't
matter if i restart or not. Actually it has shown the ATI vidocard update
twice since my first post and 4 other updates about three days ago. It's not
really disturbing, but it's principle of the thing that you can't choose when
your given choices and that it just won't install optional updates if you
don't choose them from the list of updates.
