Windows Updates

[goldfish77]

I have taken my pc back to factory setting.
Does anyone roughly know how long it takes to download updates.
I have had it going now for 4 hours saying checking for updates.

many thanks

Depends on the speed of your broadband and how long you've had the pc. The older it is, the more updates it needs to do.

Earlier this week I had to restore my PC to an earlier setting from a backup on the PC Itself. No internet involved (one of the reasons I had to do it was the machine refused to hook up to the internet).

I'd had it running for two and a half hours before bedtime and it was still happily chugging away. It was completed by the morning so it took somewhere between two and a half and nine hours.

Yet another failure courtesy of our friends at Microsoft. All I was doing was looking a few websites and e-Mails. Over it went:

"Failure to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client Service.." and another five or six lines of drivel.

Windows 8 is prone to such failures (this is the third I have suffered) and is not fit for purpose.

If you have windows 7 or 8 and don't want to upgrade to 10, just download the updates and review before installing (there is an option to do this). There are a handful that will "nag" to update to windows 10. Search on net to find what these are...don't have time here.

What OS are you using if it is Windows 7 there are 216 updates so far and more to come when Microsoft releases their monthly updates on Tuesday of each month
