If you do not like using Automatic Updates from Microsoft and would actually like to see and choose what updates are installed, I will show you how to do this.
Open Internet Explorer. Click on the "tools" button at the top of the browser and choose "Windows Updates"
This will take you to the Microsoft Update site. You may be prompted to install an ActiveX control. Allow this to happen.
You will see two buttons on the screen. "Express" and "Custom". Choose "Custom". Your computer will be searched at this point to see what updates are available for your computer. Once this is done you will see a list come up of "Critical Updates". These should be installed but you can choose not to install any given update by unchecking it.
If you look over to the left hand menu, you will see "Recommended Updates" and "Hardware Updates" You can select any of these that you may want or select all. Once you are finished selecting, click on "Install Updates" at the top. Your updates are now being installed.
