Greetings. I just did a clean re-install of my Windows 7 Home Premium on one of my desktops. I installed drivers from the motherboard CD, then the graphics card driver, and then I started the Windows Updates.

 

A few updates installed and then I got a message that the Windows Updater itself needs to update to a newer version. It did and now it is stuck on "Checking for updates" for like half an hour. Is this normal?

Seek and you shall find.

Windows 7 updates are super slow because of how many there are. It will take a while.
