Hi,

It is enabled by default. There is a way to find out, which will involve opening a list of Windows services and seeing if Windows Update service is active. But for everyday consumers, don't worry about automatic updates. Cheers, Joseph

Listen to the line that starts with "Version". As for automatic updates: yes, it is advised to keep this enabled. In the past, people gave conflicting advice in regards to keeping automatic updates on or off, mainly because of concern that you may find yourself upgraded to more recent Windows 10 release (termed "feature updates"). Times have changed since then - Microsoft will not install new Windows 10 feature updates (releases) unless your system (hardware and software) is deemed compatible with the new update. Although the following will not directly address automatic updates question posed, it provides a short overview on what is happening with feature updates (source: the Win10 forum I mentioned earlier): https://win10.groups.io/g/win10/message/45181?p=,,,100,0,0,0::Created,,featu re+updates,100,2,0,74554449 Cheers, Joseph -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Madison Martin Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2020 1:11 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Windows 10 question Hi again all, Can someone please tell me how to find out what vertion of Windows 10 I'm running?
