I got a deal a while back on a refurbished Surface RT, in order to
start trying out Win 8.  It has been merrily auto-updating, but when I
try "Check Now" it usually fails with one of Microsoft's unhelpful
messages...

  I'd like to change it to "Notify me, but let me choose when to
install", and it looks from the Help pages like this option is still
available.  But none of the listed procedures to get to the Windows
Update Settings page actually seems to work for me, whether by getting
to Windows Update and then Change PC Settings, or by going to Settings
and then Update & Restore.

  Can anyone offer the clue I must be missing?
