the automatic update icon appears in my system tray as soon as i boot up my pc and says 'updates are ready for your computer. click here to download these updates'. if i click on it there are no updates to download. why does the icon persist in the system tray?

i think u misunderstood me. i dont want to disable updates. all im saying is that the update icon appears even when there are no updates to be downloaded.
