Quick Windows Update Question

G'Day,
I installed SP2 on a retired friend's computer y'day, and configured 'Automatic Updates' for him. This is something that I have never used (I prefer to get them manually). Anyway, there were about 7 criticals and a few optionals there (about 90mins for the criticals on his dial-up). It did start to DL these automatically and was about 15% complete when I left. Now I doubt very much if he would have kept the connection going much longer after I left.
Will AutoUpdate 'pick up' where it 'left off' the next time he connects?
I will probably go over and check in a couple of days anyway, but I was just interested to know.
Thanks,
Buck.

 

I'm thinking...maybe not! after finding this; here

Would still like to know for sure....
Thanks,
BB

 

The answer is very obvious from this sentence.

If you close your Internet connection or restart your computer after pausing a download process, Windows automatically resumes the download process the next time that you are connected to the Internet.

This should answer your question.

And I'm thinking that this 75 year old gent would probably not have 'paused' the download, hence my 'maybe not' answer. Obviously!
