Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin(s) for December 10, 2013

Installed 5 updates for XP Pro SP3. All is well. MU took forever and never did stop looking for udates. So I used the trick I learned last time---first instll the IE update manually and then it only takes a few seconds for MU to find the remaining ones. Don't know why this problem has started because it never used to be this way.

What if you then try going back to Windows Update instead of using Microsoft Update? I find Microsoft Update to be slower as it has a much larger catalog of updates (Office, AntiVirus...ect) than Windows Update. I ask only because I see you are using Windows XP.

I don't know Dustyn because I never use Windows Update, but with MU if you manually install the IE update it only takes seconds to get the rest.
