General

Here, you can configure settings that affect your privacy and security when working on your computer.

Under Automatic Windows updates, you can configure the behavior of the Windows Update function. When Activate automatic Windows updates is selected, Windows is allowed to automatically contact the Microsoft server when you are connected to the Internet to check if updates are available for your system.

You should select Notify before downloading updates if you want to be asked before Windows downloads updates from the Internet.

Under Screensaver password, you can specify how long the screensaver has to be active before you are required to enter your login password to turn it off. If you set this delay to 10 seconds, for example, you can turn off the screensaver by moving your mouse or pressing a key up to 10 seconds after it switches on without having to enter your password.
