• Windows 7 scan speedup

    Posted on October 11, 2016 at 19:40 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Standard disclaimer: We’re going to be discussing today’s patches, but DON’T ASSUME THAT YOU SHOULD INSTALL THEM. You have plenty of time to wait and see if they break anything.

    With that said, many of you are asking about speeding up Windows 7 update scans. Those of you in Group A will need to scan sooner or later, and anybody who needs the .NET update rollup will probably want to get it from Windows Update – thus a speedup will help.

    The only way I’ve seen to speed up Win7 scans is by installing both KB 3020369 and KB 3172605. See http://wu.krelay.de/en/ for details about problems with both.

    Yes, 3172605 is a rollup patch (and thus suspect) that, among other things, breaks Bluetooth on Intel machines, but Intel has a new driver.
