Question How often Automatic update runs?

I have on my automatic update-so that it will update files for me. But everytime I am connected, the program seems to find something to update. It runs once, until finish downloading the update. I can only pause/resume. How often does this update runs by itself. Anyone getting updates frequently like mine?

I choose to have it turned off. I want to know what I am putting on my computer, rather than having MS put it on automatically. I rather update manually.

Mine comes almost all the time I am connected to the pc. If I connect for more than 1hour, it will come out. Run once, that's it. Then when I connect again, the same thing will happen. Well I chose to turn that off, when watch the screen savers, they said it was better to turn it on, they had theirs off too before.
