Defender does it's own thing. No tweaks that I know of. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/configuring-updates-took-a-long-time-on-startup#post-22770 Mon, 05 May 2008 12:21:22 +0000 Deney 22770@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Eeek, sorry I didn't see that before, thanks a lot though =). Erm just to go on a bit of a tangent, is Windows Defender good to leave and do it's own thing or is there any tweaks I can do with it to make it more efficient. Especially as all these updates are just for windows Defender ^^.<br /> Thanks again. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/configuring-updates-took-a-long-time-on-startup#post-22769 Mon, 05 May 2008 12:07:10 +0000 Lighthouse 22769@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If you open Windows Update and select "View Update History" that will tell you what has/hasn't been installed. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/configuring-updates-took-a-long-time-on-startup#post-22768 Mon, 05 May 2008 12:02:29 +0000 Deney 22768@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hi, when I shut down my PC last night, Windows automatically installed some updates, and this is usual. But when I turned my PC this morning it took about 3 times longer to start up and was on a screen before welcome saying "Configuring updates 3 of 3 - 0%" and then after about 2 minutes it jumped to 100% and completed. I'm sure that Windows is not going crazy etc haha, but I was just wondering If I can see or find out what is being installed/configured, and I wish it'd let me know before they start messing with my OS ~.~ haha.<br /> Thanks </p>
