[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1065997, member: 176704"] [USER=175144]@Channel Hopper[/USER] Never having had the "misfortune" to use Win 8.1 (was never tempted to "upgrade" from Win 7!), I don't know just how long it takes for updates to download and install, but Win 10 updates can take an age to do both. It often downloads and queues them soon as the machine boots up, and then installs them one after the other - and that can take a mighty long time, especially if the broadband is not that fast and/or the machine is not itself the "fastest in the World" (as a m/c running Win 8.1 might well not be - given its probable age), and that means it can take quite a time for actual programmes/Apps to become available for use. A decent SSD can help a lot! [/QUOTE]
