Defragment drive in HP Assistant update takes forever.
I use HP Assistant development on pc Pavilion Elite e9260f, and the session to defragment took more than 16 hours. The computer has an i5 processor and a 1 TB hard drive. Is this normal?
Indywalkers, welcome to the forum.
No, this seems to be abnormal. I suggest stop defragmentation and try to use Disk Defragmenter in system tools; Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Disk Defragmenter. I just defragged my HDD (500 GB) in less than 10 minutes. It can a little longer if your HARD drive has not been defragmented for awhile.
NOTE: When I used support Assistant to defragment my HARD drive failed. It worked perfectly using the method I suggested above.
Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.

Windows 7, updates takes forever
OK, so I recently bought a computer. It is refurbished and I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 because it is Windows 7 and I love the way Windows 10 looks. in any case I order to get Windows 10 I check for updates and I did and waited a few hours and it maintains simply check it says that he has never checked for updates of what it means it will take a long time so he could check or is there something wrong please help if anyone can.
You may need to wait 24 hours or so that the updates of Windows 7 these days is very slow to download.
A better way is to use the media tool to upgrade:
Download Windows 10 media creation tool
Simply select this option of PC/improvement.
After you download the Windows 10 installation files using this tool, you can upgrade your existing 10 Windows operating system, or you can create the bootable USB drive or DVD to install Windows 10 key later. You can also save the installation files to the ISO in offline mode file format, if you wish.

For these last months update downloads take a long time to complete, last night, I left my PC at night, woke up this morning (11 hours later) and found still trying to download (not even a single file completed!)
Anyone have an idea why and all the solutions?

Try the following: KB3168965 to install it manually.
The value of the automatic updates to 'never check updates' and restart Windows before installing.

Windows updates take forever...
Dear Sirs,
I have a windows Vista computer, and lately I'm trying to fix these windows problems to update on my own mistakes. I am trying to find answers on the Web sites, but whenever I'm digging into the problems, a new error keeps appearing.
It seems that I missed files on the windows updates, or some files in the registry are incorrect, and now windows updates keep loading for ever... I even don't see the c:\windows\system32\catroot folder on my PC that is bound to the windows updates.
Can you please tell me what to do? Windows updates are really important to the PC, so I really need the assistance of an expert in the field with my windows updates.
Looking forward for your answer,
Frank

Check for updates takes forever, download runs and runs and does not complete
I am running Windows 7 Premium family with Service Pack 1. Verification of updates runs for hours and sometimes he can't find anything. I ran it last night 29/08/2016 and it took 8 hours to complete. I chose a download of only 75kb and it worked for four hours (0 KB and 0% complete) 30/08/2016. Last updates were installed with success was the 28/08/2016 21:18, since then these are the problems that I had with. Is the best thing to (restore to an earlier point in time) or remove the installed updates? Is there something I otherwise should I do to correct this situation. I seem to be other problems. Appreciate any help.

A clean install of Windows 7 x 64 takes forever to search for updates
Don't know why, but the update takes forever to search on a clean install of windows. I made a lot of clean installations of Windows 7 before, but never had a problem with the receipt of the updates. But this time, it just doesn't go as far in receiving updates.
I don't have any firewall or antivirus programs installed on this system. Just new installation of windows 7. Tried the pro versions and at the same time with the same result.
Here's onedrive link for the log file
Please run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:

Generally updates for Windows 7 can take more than 24 hours to get the list of those available.

the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or

After that I went to El Capitan, my computer would be close and take forever to reboot. I took it to the Genuis Bar and they said it was us who extinguished the FileVault. I've updated the software on 1: 1 and now, I'm having the same problem again. The computer turns off and sometimes it takes me an hour or two to get started again. Help, please!
refer to this article and move forward with the NVRAM reset at the end.

Free space on drive C - Windows XP Security takes a large amount of space.
Beachaven,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Community!
How much space you show the updates of security take?
It is recommended to leave all the updates security installed and continue to keep your computer up-to-date with Windows Update. Remove these updates will make your computer vulnerable to malicious software. If you need to erase the disk space, I recommend to uninstall old programs that are no longer in use. You can also check the disk cleanup tool to see if you can free up of any space there.
· Click Start
· Click on all programs
· Click on Accessories
· Click on System Tools
· Click Disk Cleanup
· Check the boxes of files to remove
· Click OK
· Click on delete files
Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

Try a CCleaner tool.
It cleans up the registry and deletes junk and waste in the system.
You should also defragment the HARD drive.Check if you have an active firewall I used zonealarm in the past, that it has affected my clean boot procedure and extended to 2 minutes I removed it finally
