Try this - you may have to experiment:

Assume the macro you want to run is called M1

Using the built-in Windows 7 Task Scheduler, create a new scheduled task:
Trigger: Begin the task: On an event
         Basic
         Log: System
         Source: WindowsUpdateClient
         Event ID: 1

 Action: Start a program
         Program/script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Express Pro\MeProc.exe /AM1

 

As you can see, there are a lot of trigger log values, and Sources, and Event IDs. I've simply taken a guess that this may work.

Let me know.

That's a great idea Paul!

is there a simpler way? like is there an .exe that runs when there are new windows updates?
