I checked (as always) recommended updates. Quite a few fixes for bugs from the very beginning, glad they found time to fix them after all this time. Also few that do not belong to desktop computers, some for RT even, one for fixing problems with touch screen.

Last night I downloaded and Installed all the Important and Recommended Updates. But this morning when I booted up it was SO SLOW before the main Desktop Screen came on.

Was one or more of these updates affecting boot-up speed, if so what can i do about it. Does anyone else noticed this problem or is it just me.

Many Thanks

I got 53 including Office 2013. 1.2 GB



I got 54 updates including some for Office 2013 even though I have never purchased Office 2013. I have Office 2010 Professional installed, but now I have different 2013 elements including OneNote 2013. Why is there such a discrepancy between the amount of updates that we all received?

Well, we don't all have same setups, MS programs like Office, some updates come for hardware drivers etc.
