Liutauras13 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 My Automatic Updates was off untill now. I turned it on and what now? I have to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update. If you've had Automatic Updates off for awhile, you probably have to get quite a lot of updates before you can get Service Pack 3. So download the updates and eventually Service Pack 3 will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
