I switched from IE to Mozilla Firefox as my browser. Since that time Microsofts updates have not been added to the list on the add or remove section in my control panel. Ulthough the updates been downloaded,according to Microsoft.

I find it in Start -> Help and Support, under "Pick a Task" I click on "Keep you computer up-to-date with Windows Update"

The problem is where do I find the list of downloaded Microsoft updates on my computer? They used to be posted in the add or remove section of the control panel.

Microsoft has it set up that you MUST use IE to receive any Microsoft updates. No other browser can be used.
