How to check your windows update (windows 7 or windows vista)

Some windows updates are very critical and it is important to not only download them, but also install them unto your hard drive.  You can check your update in many ways, however the easiest way I find to do it is by clicking on the start menu and right click on "Computer".  Then you will need to select the properties option from the drop down menu as shown in the screenshot below.
