It sounds to me like it was preparing for Windows 10. |

My Win 7 Ultimate machine was running very sluggish and wasn't responding so I did a restart. Not much different. So I did a complete shut down, at that point it said "installing 1-25 updates, don't switch off". Left it to it for 1/2 hour and brought it back up. Did the usual BIOS messages then said "Update operations xx of 42,052. Loads of scrolling going on, replacing DLL's etc. Complete system reboot off it's own bat. "Update operations x of xx.xxx" is very normal when big updates are installed, so don't worry about that. |

...but 42000 is a bit excessive for just a "simple" update, it is almost as if that PC hadn't had any updates from its day zero :-( Painful whatever. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

And "big updates" in that context are usually 'dot NET' framework updates. I find they can sometimes be done separately, without needing a restart - though they use a lot of machine resources while they crawl through. Better to get them out of the way at boot time. |

I have seen quite a few large updates over the past several years, probably not win10 related. If you want to see all the updates on your system they are in: windows>winsxs directory. Do not delete anything in this directory, your machine will crash. I have disabled updates since I caught MS uploading an inventory of all my hardware and software. The program is called "Wicainventory". There is an .xml file with your inventory in the same directory. good luck, fk |

Given there are currently only a total of 770 possible updates for Windows I can only guess that another operation may have been occurring. Perhaps a disk check or repair of system files.

My Win 7 Ultimate machine was running very sluggish and wasn't responding so I did a restart. Not much different. So I did a complete shut down, at that point it said "installing 1-25 updates, don't switch off". so far normal but the clue is the beging of what you said "Update operations xx of 42,052. Loads of scrolling going on, replacing DLL's etc. Complete system reboot off it's own bat. second clue We now have a stable machine where everything is working properly, but what the hell was that all about??? Never ever seen that before :-( 3 rd clue . You had a problem and then restarted it , or did you have a problem !. Seti running flat out on it ? if yes you got updates running in background and you think's umm i have problem machine is sluggish but then restart it harf way through Windows restarts knows update didn't update so completes update then has to go back and fix other files but says updates Blah , Blah , Blah It's happen'd to me when i've forced it to shutdown incorrectly not just while it was doing updates and that's what happens , it didn't shut files down or lost them and has to reload some files so it comes up as a update when it's not necessary a windows update |

I think Chris is talking about the "registry updates" that scroll up the screen after the reboot, post MS update. The 45,052 are the files it is replacing/updating not the number of updates being installed. From memory the last WIN 7 update I did before WIN 10 was quite large and did scroll a lot up the screen. And yes it always does a re-boot after that, seen it quite often |

Chris am i right you forced it to shutdown , pushed power button !! Bernie it can happen without the scrolling it will say the 45,052 witch i think is a windows error code not updates he just happen to do it while it was doing updates other wise he would have waited some time for them to download and it would have said it was downloading them first before saying update 1-25 and then doing what it did . |

OK, I've just fired off '.NET framework 4.5.2 (KB2901983)', which I've been ignoring since January (all other important updates are already installed, including the out-of-band one this week). I'll let you know if that triggers the effect. At over 50 MB, it seems a candidate. Edit - no, just a normal update, if a big one. And it did require a restart afterwards. |
