I installed the eight updates automatically from Microsoft on October 9 2007.

Now my PC needs over 20 minutes to boot up. The performance when it is up and

running is good. I haven't noticed any issues with the applications either or

the networking. It is just the boot time that is incredibly slow, litterally

dragging itsself from the HP blue welcome screen all the way to steady state.

 

Any feedback on what to do?

Review your update history to see what updates were installed, none of my

winxp / win2k PC's installed 8 updates in this last round

I suspect you may have installed some crappy MS driver updates

Re: Super slow boot after installing Windows updates on October 9

 

I have a Windows Vista Ultimate PC. I have OneCare installed as well. It is

weird because the drivers you are referring to belong typically to the

optional section and are not automatically downloaded.

 

1. How do I check Windows Update History?

 

2. Can I remove easily Windows Updates?

Re: Super slow boot after installing Windows updates on October 9

 

Ah, Vista afraid I dont know what updates this o/s had in the last round

From IE, run win/msupdate

History will be on left pain

They can be removed if shown in add/remove dialogue, once you have

determined what the last 8 were

Re: Super slow boot after installing Windows updates on October 9

 

just wanted to add that you are not alone. many people is experiencing

problems with the latest update, I'm using XP, affected, and can't do a thing

because whatever's being installed yesterday was and is still stuck

somewhere. I still can't get into my computer even with a brand new hard

drive that has a freshly installed Win XP in it. good job MS, kill everyone's

computer and charge a ridiculous amount of money to patch it! what a way to

boost revenue.

Yes I am totally frustrated too. The users are being held hostages to

substandard software and as the downloads are automatic and highly

recommended by Microsoft, I feel like I have no control and being left with a

major issue and lots of tme wasted.

I only saw 4 for my XP system, and my boot time did not change. You

may want to consider in future installing only a few at a time in

order to more easily find the culprit if things go bad on you.

Are you sure it wasn't .net 3.0. Mine took a long time also when I did that

update along with the other updates. I use WSUS for our corporate users and

I only had this issue. Can't explain, guess .net 3.0 was being weird.

Back in August when one or two of the updates dealing with .net

something or another were reported, I decided to NOT install

them. As is my custom, I do not blindly install updates, I lurk

here and other places to see what experiences others are having.

In this case, it seemed like a ready made visit from Murphy and I

also failed to get a clear understanding even of what the risk

was. That doesn't help you much now, and I am sorry for that, but

perhaps you and others may want to adopt a more circumspect M.O.

for future updates. My conservatism may well leave me vulnerable

to something I don't even know about, but I also feel it at least

MAY have saved me some pain.

 

In any event, best of luck resolving your current problem(s) and

any in future.
