Re: Microsoft Updates
It's an automatic setting. Last Sunday I was informed I had 230 updates. Tried auto install but that failed and I ended up installing 10 at a time The graphic sites load much faster and the overall performance is much better. I'm pretty anal with updating my programs so this was a bear to get through . . . .

Re: Microsoft Updates
strange, I have never seen that many updates at one time. Just looking now there are 6 available.

Re: Microsoft Updates
I've just turned on my dead friend's old computer for the first time in over a year. A win8 machine he used, and it's *never* had updates! And, it won't let me update. It's fucked, kinda. I haven't done much with "8" before - does anyone have any tips on if maybe something's stopping updates what it is and how to get rid of it?
It's funny, because my desktop music machine running XP just lost it's battle with age, dropping most function of the USB access to external drives. I began work on a Vista machine I found in the trash when my computer died. The recycled one had an old hijack lock screen I was able to get rid of quick enough, and several nasty viruses and trojans (like, hundreds...), and some pretty distasteful photographs I couldn't close and delete fast enough! Yikes! Anyway, I spent hours and hours disinfecting and fumigating that thing before I decided to just totally wipe it and reformat and re-install a refreshed Vista (yeah, I know....) and then spent a LONG time getting updates round after round in the hundreds, until it appears fresh and clean. **THEN** I get my old deceased taper buddy Kevin's computer (the win8 machine) given to me, so... I'm exhausted from the vista experience! LOL

Re: Microsoft Updates
Alright, well, malawarebytes found a few nasties, and a restart or three later, I grabbed some kind of update, and then the updater needed to update! You know it's been a long time when...
 So, I'm on what I think is round 1 of 164 updates now - 159 windoze and 6 optional others. I'm betting it leads to round 2 of another few dozen. What are they up to for win8? 8.1? Any service packs? I guess I'm gonna find out...  EDIT: BUT, the 164 updates aren't showing that they're actually downloading 15 minutes later! Like, 0% or 0kb complete. It doesn't appear to be kicking in... reboot time again and re-try ahead maybe...

Re: Microsoft Updates
Feel your pain. I had to manually install all those updates. Didn't shut the computer off for a week. Restart after restart after restart . . .

Re: Microsoft Updates
Well, it hasn't *quite* been as bad as having to manually install hundreds and hundreds of individual updates, but I think I'm on round 6 or 7 so far now of updating, after that 150 something batch, there were a few, a couple, several, some more, yet others, and a warning that I should try to update to 8.1 with a different process, although possibly after it's totally finished getting other updates to 8 to prepare it for 8.1...
 updates TO the updates!
