Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. 

Hi dgbystrom,

Thanks for posting to answers.microsoft.com

Would you try the following steps and let us know if this increases the speed or if the speed of the updates remain the same:

1. Boot your system in a clean boot state.  (Start with step 1---then try the update.)
2. After booted using the parameters described in  STEP 1 , manually download one update and manually launch it.

Here's a link to the Download Site:

(http://support.microsoft.com/gp/DOWNLOADOVER )

In Step 1  time how long it takes to download and install.  If it seems to be quicker and you still have updates left, move on to Step 2.  Describe any errors or if there are any changes in the download time in that step.

Continue on through the steps, if you do have enough downloads and try to isolate what may be delaying the process.

Report any questions or concerns back to us in the forum for further information.

Important note:  Remember to get your system back to a NORMAL STATE by following the steps outlined in STEP 7 of the Clean Boot process.

Thanks for working with us.

Regards,
