    New optional update


    There have been a lot of problems reported the last few months where Windows Update is very slow and takes a long time.
    I just checked my W7 Updates and a new update KB3102810 was published yesterday (2015-11-03)
    This update might help fix this, but it also includes a fix for updating to Win 10.

    I also get the "same update" offered for W8.1 as KB3102812 described here:

    I promptly hid KB3102810 and another optional one when they came through recently; I still have two important ones from yesterday pending (KB2758857 and KB3067904); I'm waiting to see if anyone reports problems or not. I haven't had any trouble with windows updates taking too long to do its thing and I don't need a fix for updating to Win 10 because that simply isn't going to happen. In fact, I suspect the ones who have been having trouble with updates also have the Win 10 nagware, etc. installed, which I do not.
