Man of Honour
Don't know about new installs but it did nothing for me last month. It didn't even have last months updates in it so it's going to be at least two months worth of extra updates needed.
Identical to my own experience just yesterday, I knew from having just had a different PC install 10 updates that those updates were available but despite leaving a second PC searching for an hour nothing was found.
Stopped the windows update search and decided to update malwarebytes and do a scan as it'd been a while , when finished I checked the shutdown button and now it's now showing updates ready to install.
I get the feeling that Windows 7 has been sabotaged to force users to update to Windows 8 or 10.
I completely agree. Users should have a free and clear choice about upgrading to Windows 10. Currently the choice is not clear to the average user, or below, therefore it is neither free once they been tricked into installing Windows 10.While encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 10 would have been fine, the draconian way that Microsoft seem to be doing this seems really unprofessional and certainly dodgy for such a big company. I am actually hoping the EU (whether we stay in or leave) sues Microsoft again as this time they would definitely deserve it.
Funny that you mention that, because I had the same with my Windows Update on 8.1 too. But it seems to be checking at normal speeds now.I've first started experiencing Windows Update on 8.1 last night taking 8 - 10 minutes to find a Flash Update. I had never experienced this on 8.1 until now. Windows Update seems to use an awful amount of CPU for finding updates. :s
Until this it had only been happening on Windows 7. 8.1 would find updates within 1 - 3 minutes.
Yet Windows 10 can check for updates under a minute.

I'm pretty sure I opted out of any "improvement" programs. Dodgy as hell to say the least. It's doing my head in.This update performs diagnostics on the Windows systems that participate in the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. These diagnostics help determine whether compatibility issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed. This update will help Microsoft and its partners ensure compatibility for customers who want to install the latest Windows operating system.
