If true, that would be strange. What does this single-line terminal command show on your system?: sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload On my systems that have the System Preferences > App Store > Download newly available updates in the background setting disabled, it shows this output: # sudo defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate AutomaticDownload Password: 0 (0 means the setting is indeed turned off) On all of the Macs I manage with the setting turned off, viewing the Updates tab of the App Store window does *not* start downloading and installing available updates. There is an "Update" button next to each available update in the list; and if I do not explicitly click that button (or the "Update All" button at the top of the list), nothing happens. You may want to try toggling the System Preferences > App Store > Download newly available updates in the background setting on and back off. > If Notifications says I have an update, I'll open App Store to see what > it is.

Normally, there is an Update button next to each one, and they do not start automatically. Something is apparently wrong with your system setup. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
