AutoSelectionMode enumeration (wuapi.h)

Defines the types of logic that is used to determine whether a particular update will be automatically selected when the user views available updates in the Windows Update user interface.

Syntax

typedef enum tagAutoSelectionMode {
  asLetWindowsUpdateDecide = 0,
  asAutoSelectIfDownloaded = 1,
  asNeverAutoSelect = 2,
  asAlwaysAutoSelect = 3
} AutoSelectionMode;

Constants

The update will be automatically selected only if it has been completely downloaded.

The update will never be automatically selected.
asAlwaysAutoSelect
