ergonomic information:

Signing Up for Software Updates

Microsoft continually updates the Windows operating system. It is recommended
that you check for, download, and install these updates at least monthly. Take
advantage of the Automatic Updates feature, a convenient way to keep the
operating system up to date. When you are connected to the Internet, Windows
Update automatically notifies you through a pop-up message or icon in the
notification area when critical updates are available. When you see the Windows
Update message, allow the updates to download to the system. If you update the
system weekly, or at least monthly, the time required for download is minimal.
To configure Automatic Updates:
Click Start, Control Panel, Other Control Panel Options, and then
Automatic Updates.
In the Automatic Updates window, select the desired configuration:
• Automatic (recommended) — This is the default setting, and it allows you to
specify a day and time to automatically download and install recommended
updates.
• Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.
• Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.
The Turn off Automatic Updates option makes the PC more vulnerable and is
not recommended.
