Nothing happens after this screen.

Or is this how it is supposed to be? 😕
 
It was not updating automatically.The problem got fixed on it's own, I am used to Right click> Open> Updates> Updates anyway -.-
 

My Windows Update is set to notify-before-downloading, so MSE wouldn't update automatically. So I used this command line option to setup a task in Task Scheduler. This task checks for new definitions every hour 🙂
 
I don't download files from weird sources so it's not that much of a Thing to worry about.Actually, I just applied a fix which allows MSE to update via authenticated proxy so can't really test whether or not it is working fine.Have to wait for 4-5 days to make sure that I really need to create a batch file or not.
