How do I INCREASE the delay between updates.?

If MSE is not updating automatically, I would uninstall and then re-install.
Mine updates once a day (but sometimes goes 2 days)

I read that to get rid of the command line window that you should that you should change the name of the user account under security options.
Double click on the task, select Action in the top bar, and then Properties.
Under General tab, click Change User or Group.
In the box "Enter the Object Name" type SYSTEM

I have tried this but I was not around when the definitions updated, so I can't be sure it works yet !

I can find a way to minimize the task, I always get a black command line window popping up

is there a way to solve this

BTW I've got windows update set on automatic and always install updates, but MSE never updates without me clicking on the update button (he warns he's no updated in the tray area though)
