and some dotnet updates god help us all. Those will take ****ing forever to install.

did it take a long time to install the updates on Surface?

[Buendia]

On Windows 8 it takes ages to install those updates, at least 20 min on my computer, probably even more.

SSD or non SSD? It took a while for an SSD anyway to install them about 5 mins.

DotNet updates for Win 7 as well and yeah they take forever there too!

I was stuck at Update 1 of 8 for a long time

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.

I just ran a check and I have 10 updates to install, downloading them right now.

Regular HDD.

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.

Yes, it took a while to update, but it completed ok for me. Using my surface to post these updates :)

[George P Global Moderator]

Updates done for me, Win8Pro x64 on my desktop. Alls good here, dunno what changes they did with those 2 big updates but it's working like it has when I first installed it.

104.3MB of updates on my Surface. Firmware updated was tiny, only 400KB.

I only got a single Logitech driver update on Windows 7 :p

[spudtrooper]

Surface definitely got some performance improvements with app launching! hope MS keeps these updates rolling!

Anyone notice anything different with the Surface update? Seems a bit zippier but it could be my imagination/wishful thinking

[spikey_richie]

13 Windows 7 updates for me, but then I did install VS 2012 earlier.

I was shocked at how fast the desktop comes up now...or i that could be my imagination too lol

[Growled Member]

Got 15 updates here. Sigh. Time to get to work.

[TruckWEB]

9 updates, 337Mb on my laptop.

And it's working like it was before, nothing seems to be improved.

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.

You should have received a lot more then that, are you sure they didn't auto apply last night? Check your Update History.
