Windows Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users' knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates. Many companies require testing of patches before they are widely installed, and businesses in this situation are objecting to the stealth patching. "Normal behaviour," according to Microsoft.

UNTRUE ...

Windows Update updates itself (9 files on your machine) REGARDLESS of the setting of Windows Update.

You set your Windows Update to "Never Update" ... it still connects to Microsoft and performs the update.
