Your ESET product is designed to notify you of important updates to your operating system that might contain important patches or bug fixes.
You can disable these notifications in your ESET product. Disabling the notifications from your ESET product will not turn off the Windows Update process or the notifications from the Windows operating system itself.
The notification levels correspond to Microsoft's ranking system for updates (low priority, common, important, and critical). If you disable Windows update notifications in your ESET product, we recommend you enable update notifications or automatic updating in your Windows operating system to keep your computer fully protected. Learn more about automatic updates from Windows.
- No updates: Disable all Windows update notifications
- Optional updates: Notified any time Windows updates are available
- Recommended updates: Notified when Windows updates marked as common or higher are available
- Important updates: Notified when Windows updates marked as important or higher are available
- Critical updates: Notified only when Windows updates marked as critical are available (default setting)
