Are there any recent "updates" which could slow down my computer?

I had my system set up so that I would be informed of updates then I would elect to install those that I wanted too. Somehow this setting has been changed to automatically download and install updates. In recent weeks, I noticed that my computer has slowed down considerably.

I have a Sony Vaio, I bought October 2012. I don't keep a lot of photos or videos on my hard but drive transfer them to an external hard drive that is not connected to my laptop unless I use as external hard drive at this time so I don't know has nothing to do with the cause of my laptop is running slowly. My operating system is Windows 7. The version that is installed on my computer but I don't know how to check the version. I don't know what other information, you may need, but can tell you that I don't download a lot of things like my children and grandchildren do my hard drive is not all clogged with junk.

If you need more info about my system and can tell me how I would like to know what you need to know that I will be happy to provide this information in order to help find the reason of my system is so slow now.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
