Chris123NT Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Oh dear god, what's with the massive updates? This seals the deal for me, I'm gonna set up WSUS on my network so I don't have to download these things multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted November 13, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2012 Updates don't seem to be taking that long to install on my SSD. Probably 5mins or so, but we're talking 295-300MB for me so no small install really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckWEB Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 9 updates, 337Mb on my laptop. And it's working like it was before, nothing seems to be improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyang Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm not sure if it's due to an application I used, or this update, so I'm asking here. (The application was "OblyTile".) My IE icon on the Start screen is now the metro one, all the time. Previously, the icon would change between the desktop and metro versions depending on whether or not IE was the default browser. Now, Nightly is my default browser, but the IE icon is still the metro version. I'm not complaining about this, just curious if something in this batch of patches is the cause.

xendrome Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I only got a single Logitech driver update on Windows 7 :p You should have received a lot more then that, are you sure they didn't auto apply last night?
