Automatic updates

Probably a dumb question, but must your computer be turned on AND have Internet Explorer opened, or just tuned on. Running Windows 8.1 on the one and Windows 7 on the other computer. Have cable internet. Thanks, Mike

NO need of having Internet Explorer (or any other particular program) open.

As long as the PC is ON, there is a working internet connection and Automatic Updates are set correctly the updates will be downloaded alright.

There is also no need of being logged in.

 

Consider how a number of automatically delivered updates when installed may need to reboot the PC, so it is - generically speaking - not advisable to leave open programs as they may /they shoudl not, but they still may) either prevent the shutdown and reboot or lose unsaved data.
