Windows 10: Windows Update Troubleshooter taking hours to run!!!

Awaiting the solar flare to take out all electronic infrastructure. Meanwhile. Windows 10 updates taking hours to fail to complete on every start up for a week+. Manual Windows Update takes hours only to generate a softkey, 'Retry'. So, I run Windows Update Troubleshooter only for it to spend hours 'Detecting problems' with no conclusion forthcoming MS website suggests it takes 'a few minutes'.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
