It took 2 hours for Windows Update to find 13 updates for Windows 7.
I guess since Windows 10, Windows 7 is not priority for Microsoft.
BTW, no problems with Avast.
Reported to Avast.
Why ? It is not Avast fault. It is a known issue with Windows Update in Windows 7.
Just Google it.

Yeah it took both of my Win 7 systems a long time to find the updates. The other 2 that are running 10 got them easily and I'm not using Avast.

Today, it took 'only' 1 hour and 50 minutes for Windows Updates to find 10 updates for Windows 7.
Everything is fine with Avast.

I am waiting HDW38 to report about XP updates, so I can tell my friend if it is OK to install updates.

Seems no fix yet from MS as Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3147458) here is hanging at 90%
My opinion of W10 is it seems this OS is very unpredictable and certainly not smooth by any stretch of the imagination.
IMO, XP is still the smoothest OS ever put out by MS!!

EDIT: After over an hour the updates finally progressed past 90% and eventually installed.
Very Glitchy!!

No such problem here with Win 10 Home 64 bit. All installed fine and the one that took the longest, as usual, was the removal tool. Windows 10 has been nothing but smooth for me since day one.

Installed 13 updates on Windows 7. No problems with Avast.
It looks like Microsoft has fixed problems with Windows updates for Windows 7.
It took 15 minutes to download and install updates.
