Constantly Trying to Update
Two days ago I did a clean install of Win 7 Pro. After the install which took much longer than normal, I spent several hours updating. I am guessing that it took 4 hours or more to before it told me there were no new "important" updates.
Since then at nearly every shutdown or restart, I get the message that new updates are being installed and when it restartes, it spends a lot of time configuring the updates.
This morning, after all those up dates I get the message "New updates are availible. The update was for SP1. It's first attempt to install the update failed. I told it to "try again". For the last half hour it has been trying to download the update again and was still sitting at 0%. I finally stopped the download and rebooted.
I know this computer has a problem which I believe is either a bad hard drive or a bad controller on the mother board. I will be taking it to get checked out soon.
I guess my question is "after installing all those updates", why would it then try to install SP1?
I have been running Win 7 now for a few years and have installed it on several computers and have never seen it do this.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
One other thing, I tried to set updates to "notify me and let me decide" and for some reason I can never get that option.
