Checking for Windows updates
I have a good quality computer using Windows 7. I check for windows updates about once a week. I find that the computer can take between one and three hours simply checking for updates and that is before I finally get around to download the updates once they appear. While the green progress line is still moving as checking for updates is still happening, every five minutes on same page I keep on getting a message offering me to update to Windows 10 which I decline every time.
Question: Is it my computer being exceedingly slow in checking for Windows updates? Is between 1 and 3 hours normal of the message "checking for updates" continued hunting when the last updates were completed only one week ago?
