When Windows updates are missing, ESET Smart Security and/or ESET NOD32 Antivirus display notifications requesting the updates. You can use ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) to suppress these notifications on client computers that report to the ERA server. To create a configuration that suppresses these notifications and push that configuration out to client computers, follow the steps below:

1. Open the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) by clicking Start → All Programs → ESET → ESET Remote Administrator Console.

2. Click Tools → ESET Configuration Editor.

3. In the ESET Configuration Editor menu on the left, click ESET Smart Security, ESET NOD32 Antivirus → ESET Kernel → Setup → Advanced → Notify about missing OS updates from level: Critical updates.
