Updates to slow

[Iceboy]

Why oh why does it take forever for microsoft updates to download?...This one has been going on all night since 19:30....Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.127 (KB890830)

It seems like the servers are overcrowded. Remember, yesterday was UPDATE Day

I gave up Grizzly in the end and shut the laptop down. I'm stuck with 4gb on this laptop and the updates and defender going all the time just brings my laptop to a stand still.

That is one reason I have retired my old laptop (4GB RAM). It could not keep up anymore and everything took eternities to finish.
8GB is comfortable to use. My latest Laptop has 32GB RAM (I know, I went a little overboard, but it runs like a Rocket)

What sort did you get?..Mines a Lenovo IdeaPad 4gb, absolutely useless.

I have an HP Envy 17-cr0000 now as my main pc. Custom made to my specs at a price point of about $1100.
Here are my specs: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_6517008-6517111-16

£852.00....Must be a good one mate. Same thing over goes for £899.99 16 gb ($1160.80 ... Could you game on that then?.

 

[Grizzly]

Probably could but I am not a gamer, I just don't like to run out of RAM

Can't do a thing with my Lenovo just lately, all it does all the time is check for updates 24/7..Can't stop it, when I eventually get to switch it off, it goes in to updating mode and shuts down and a restart just goes into the same thing, updating your computer and when I eventually get into the desktop mode, it starts checking for updates again..it's in a loop I think.

In the end, I wiped the disc and started again with a download from microsoft. It seems to have worked, all the updates are downloaded and I don't have an issue anymore, the system must have become corrupted.
