Automatic updates is turned off by default.

[BoardBabe]

How can it be turned on as default?

I have AutomaticUpdates set to =YES in winnt.sif, but its still off after installation

maybe you have set it in regtweaks? check it up.

[BoardBabe]

I didn not set any regtweaks for that... hmmm

What I do have though is

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

but this shouldnt disable autoupdate feature.

What's the reg tweak to ENABLE it?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000002

2=if there are updates, windows will first ask me if it may download the hotfixes.

I have this same problem.

Maybe it should be:

AutomaticUpdates="yes"

Since some other entry uses yes inside citation marks?
