I have Vista Home Premium on an old HP laptop, using it for gaming, and
Windows Update will NEVER come up with any updates. It has the SP2 and a
few updates from January, but nothing since. Has anyone else seen this?


I'm running Vista, and have it set for automatic updates. The second
Tuesday of each month (or the day after) there are 10 - 20 updates to
be installed.

That is because Windows Vista is now in Extended Support and Windows XP is now at End Of Life. Windows Server 2003 is also End Of Life. Extended Support means Security Updates only on Corporate Builds of Windows Vista Only (which usually means Enterprise and Professional Editions only).


I will note however that Microsoft Expanded Extended Support for all Versions of Windows Vista Right before it Expired for Home Users (Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate Editions) so home users will get Security Updates ONLY!
