My memory might be wrong, but I don't think Windows 95 had automatic updates at all. They were tacked on when Windows security vulnerabilities became such a big deal in the late 1990s. Automatic updates felt like a hack in the beginning, and it feels like they still are.
- skytreader 8y agoYeah my bad. 95 definitely didn't have automatic updates. Had to come in the form of the 95 Plus! CD-ROM. Maybe even 98 didn't have automatic updates, but I won't be surprised if 98SE already had this capability in some form.
