Windows Update opens when I open Internet Explorer

When I open Internet Explorer, it automatically goes to Windows Update, and ignores my homepage setting. How can I stop this?

Try going to the control panel then the Automatic Updates setting. After that, hit Download Updates but dont install them. I think that should do it.

Try unchecking "Always check for IE updates" in Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing.

Yahoo is set as my home page, but it was ignoring this. I did a restore on my system to 3 days ago, and now have auto updates for IE unchecked. Hopefully Microsoft wont mess me up again!
