My Automatic Updates downloaded only one of the updates:

    Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed
    the following update: Security Update for Microsoft .NET
    Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB886903)

Why did automatic update not download any of the others? When I visit
windowsupdate.com, it says there are nine critical and important updates
for me to download.

I am also confused why some updates appear on the Add/Remove list, and
others, like this one, don't.

Finally, why does searching for KB886903 on microsoft.com not turn up anything?
