Windows Update - Only Repair Selected - Running over an Hour

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
The checking for updates can take a very very long time depending on the CPU speed of the system. On older systems or systems with slower cpus, such as a lot of these hybrid laptop/tablets coming out with only 1.6 ghz cpus the check for updates takes a long long time.

On a fresh install of Windows i had the check for updates take 12 hours, I had to leave it overnight and went to bed. On newer systems it is much faster.

When you run my windows repair tool the windows updates database is cleared out, so it has to be rebuilt, so no matter what the first check for updates after the repair will take a bit. But after that the database of what is installed on the system is rebuilt and future check for updates is a lot faster!
