FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

[ThrashZone]

I just checked. I can uninstall most if not all updates (double click to uninstall). All updates were installed in one big download, so I don't know why some users are saying it takes days or weeks.
All 1.5GB updates took around 5 hours to install.

Is there a reason for removing so many updates? What are the side effects of leaving them in?.

Hi,
Lots of telemetry stuff might bog down a system might still trigger popups to upgrade to 10 as well again.
You'd have to search each one to know what it does.

Can't answer all what you are saying, but I can confirm when all updates are installed it will ask you to upgrade to windows 10, but select "don't show this message again" & it should never show up. It works here.

As for telemetry, well i don't do a lot with this computer, so i don't really care, as long as it does not slow down computer when playing games.
