Hi Brian
Just found it on returning to this page.
Standard MS dialogue box

There was a problem with the request
Single box to click
OK
Not a great problem - but makes me tend not to leave the page open. I presume it just means that one of the 1440 daily automatic updates failed, perhaps due to network issues?
Oh, and the tab goes yellow.

Brian - thinking about it, the ideal would be to be told when was the last successful update.
But it is really not a big problem requiring you to spend much time on.
