Re: Windows 7 Update when not Logged In


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
Thanks John

I understand your TESCO example, makes sense - but we were generally far from any such installation, about the only example of those "free" WiFi's (ASDA, Sainsbury's, Costa, Waterstone's etc) being the DOBBIE's just off the Perth By-Pass, which we had passed about about 80 minutes earlier.

Interesting that so far, no one has come up with a (near-) identical experience.

I also must remember to check the next time as to whether the ASUS indicates that it has made a connection at any time.

Also if it has a "Download Record".or a "Log-In Record".

====================

Now found the Installed Record.

Last previous Installation was on 19th August 2014.

The Dalwhinie Installation on 18th September 2014-

KB2894844 Security ...
KB2952664 Update ...
KB2985461 Update
KB2972211 Security
KB2973112 Security
KB2977629 Security
KB2977728 Hotfix
KB2978092 Update
KB2982378 Security
KB2993651 Update

So a fair quantity.

No Times given, only Date; and not clear whether this implies Download or likely Installation only. I suspect the latter.

Still, made me delve further!


I have also checked the WiFi Registrations, only Dobbie's on a fixed site and CityLink on a moving link.

So Dobbie's definitely of a brief transitory nature on that journey; and the only CityLink coaches were going in the opposite direction, so again transitory, brief and about 3 coaches.

Not sure it'll be the same and I cba to start my Win8 at this time, but on XP there is a record of the times of all the WU activities in : C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\ReportingEvents.log

Thanks for that file location etc, XRaySpeX.

I have found it on the ASUS W7; and also on my HP Tower W8.1

I have copied the ASUS version in to a WORD Document, so that I could parse it etc, to hopefully make it more comprehensible.

At present, there appears to be two distinct Installations on that day, around 12:20 GMT before we set out, then at 14:15 GMT during the Dalwhinnie stop.

I keep all our computers on GMT, to avoid apparent time overlaps in October, when "the clocks go back". Gave problems on our Purchasing system., switching from BST to GMT each October.

Alright in the Spring, as going forward, there were no apparent time duplications.
