    Windows updates take forever to install, how do I speed it up?


    The downloading is fast but it takes hours upon hours to actually install after it's downloaded even for small insignificant updates. When I click on task manager it says it's writing at 0.1 MB/s how do I speed this shit up?

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
