Software Updates Available Appears Every Day on Live Mesh Notifier
SUMMARY:
Live Mesh appears to ‘Update’ itself almost continuously. Every day the customer will see a message in the System Tray, via the Live Mesh Notifier, that there are ‘Software Updates Available’.
INTRODUCTION:
This experience is caused by the affected login not being a member of the Administrators group. The solution is to add the affected login to the Administrators group, enabling the installation of updates that are waiting in the update queue.
