I'm glad I raised the point as I have now managed to get my computer to start updates again.
I discovered that there is a troubleshoot link for Windows Updates and using that seemed to do the trick.

It is now in the process of installing dozens of updates that haven't been done since last November!

Sorry to have hijacked your thread Brian,but your initial question suddenly made me think that I've not had any updates for ages.

I hadn't either, now I've had both the Firefox and Windows updates both downloading at the same time.  All seems to still be working fine.

I received the Windows 10 update on my work laptop yesterday, took about 5 hours which wasn't too bad, nothing like the last one.  Now just got to sort this laptop at some point.

It can be slow depending on how much Bandwidth it's allowed... especially with poor internet speeds

My OH only has a tablet and can't update Windows because it hasn't got enough memory.

It's not so much the download, which you can adjust as Hallmark shows, but the prolonged installation with several reboots, which you just have to leave to get on with it . . . you would think a moderately intelligent programmer could find a way of updating quietly in the background  ::)

It has to write to Registers a couple of times....

I find it is quicker if I sign out...then hit Shutdown as no one is logged in. Then it does it's own thing while shutting down and then booting
