First World Problems

[daniellearmouth]

So, my Samsung 850 EVO SSD arrived today! Time to install ALL OF THE THINGS!

 

......And then came Windows Update.

 

 

......zzzzzz......seriously, 200?

 

How many of you hate doing fresh OSs, especially slightly older ones, and it doing a ton of updates once they finish installing?

I have had alot more than 207 updates, and BTW the 8.1 update took me 12 hours to download then install

[samcool55]

I use ISO's that already have the updates, saves me a lot of time

 

windows 7 record, 177 updates, after 16 hours it was still at 127. At that time i decided to give up, and i didn't bother anymore with updates.

[EMENCII]

Well, reinstalled 8.1 with a 8 disc, 170 updates THEN 8.1... A day just for that. The problem is with progs/games. THREE DAYS FOR DAT. T_T

Yeesh......that's bad.

Just did two fresh installs. I think all updates count was something like 500. It starts with mild 94 etc. continuing to 120+ and then the big 197.

windows update is broken for me, haven't downloaded an update in a year for some reason

I built a customer's computer the other day and it needed 24 hours to do all the updates because it kept stopping on one.

 

Just out of interest, have you managed to get the "upgrade to windows 10" thing to appear in the tray in the bottom right yet?

[Atmos]

Thats alright, doing some maintenance of my grandfather's iMac we ran into a power outage during an OS update. So, we had to reinstall the OS. And, oh boy... Took 16 hours for the thing to download and install. thanks crappy old 600KBs internet

 

 

Lol... i remember back in the day 500KBs was the shit. Then we upgraded to a 1.2MBs package and it was like, holy crap, browse all the web

[Bogica]

I just install OS, setup my stuff and go to Update and leave it overnight or if I got other work I just allow it to update and go do something else.

Wasn't signed in on that computer, and it was quicker for me to take the picture and upload it to imgur.

 

Currently on my laptop, and have been this entire time.

Updates might get annoying but they sure do make a difference in the long run, take Vista for example, install all the updates and service pack 2 and it comes very close in performance to Windows 7 if not the same. Sure was not like that when it first came out, same with XP and 8.

And that doesn't bother you enough to repair win install?

I lost the disc, getting Win 10 as soon as it comes out so it's really not that big of an issue

Making new disc or USB... or just holding F8 to get into recovery optios. And then there's sfc/ scannow. So in the end, you really must not be that worried over it or are just plain lazy.

just plain lazy.

yes this
