[Shop-talk] LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG OVER DUE WINDOWS UPDATES

[Brian Kemp]

I have a Win 7 laptop that had not been used in over a year, so had a 
similar issue.

My first updates would be your anti-virus.

I then ran Windows Update at least 10 times to get it caught up.  It 
would do some updates then need a restart.  It then found another batch 
and needed another restart....

I'd just plug it in and start running updates.  Check every once in a 
while.  Perhaps turn off the power saving/sleep so it stays on.

After all these updates, then I'd check your browser if not IE, Adobe 
Flash, and Reader if you have them installed.
