This is definitely one of those blog posts that will serve as a reminder to me when I forget the answers in the future.

I am the kind of person who enjoys knowing what is going on and staying current and I think everyone knows that Microsoft really seems to care about developers.

Then, from the dialog box that popped up, I select Startup on the left and then put a checkmark in the box next to “Download content every:”. I left it at the default of 60 minutes and clicked OK.
