Why & What Is It Doing?

Yesterday, I asked "what is it doing?".  It was either downloading updates or indexing but what updates I was unclear about.  Today, it downloaded and then indexed.  Finished.  I began to use the program for half an hour and then right in the middle of doing a word study, I got a popup saying Updates are ready to be installed and then the program closed and it is indexing.  Again.  It is not downloading.

I don't mind indexing but today I want to know WHY?  It finished downloading and indexing.  Now why the re-indexing?  If there was more information provided when the program just does something, then it would make sense.

    Todd,

    I think the sequence my system fell into was download update (this morning), then index.  And I was not aware of another update but it could have happened.  Just because it is re-indexing, doesn't mean to me that there was an update download.  Maybe.  When we leave our computers on, things are happening that I really wish I could find out either before, during, or even after.  I have no way of knowing what was downloaded today since I have limited computer knowledge.  And I am not one to assume anything when it comes to computers.

    It finished indexing for the second time today.  Great!  Then, it began to download yet another file.  I thought it was done downloading.  And I am not going to index a third time today.  That is too much.
