I like the new auto updating feature, but I think it prevented Media Server from starting. I had to log in and run Media Center and allow it to update in order to get Media Server running. I am remote from this media server most of the time, and while I can RDP in to it to get it running, I won't know there is a problem until I get into the car in the morning and can't stream my music.

I could not find an options setting to tell Media Center to download updates but not force install on the next restart.

This was happening to me on the HTPC over v18, v19 etc - and was so annoying - that I simply turned off updates and do them manually on Saturdays as part of standard maintenance.

Having MC available and at the ready - is far more important than worrying if I have the most current update.
