    If your system, Windows Update and all programs requiring internet access, are working fine, then best to leave well alone.

    That's great Marlene.

    Indeed, there are some issues many Win 7 users have faced around Windows Update but if all you are facing is a few hours hanging once a month - and not all the time - I wouldn't waste any energy on it if it was my system.

    Default WU setting is Automatic, which means that many users would get this CPU hogging all the time.
