HP Red Flyer 15f272wm takes an hour to update every time I turn on....ugggghhhhh

[dslynn17]

So frustrated with this new computer!!!  I know it is a cheapie....but how could they put this computer on the market with this software knowing that it does this.....every single time I turn it on it tells me to wait while updates are being perfomed....literally renders my computer useless for sometimes up to an hour....every single time!!!  Help please!

@dslynn17,

There are always variables.  I would suggest you use any of these to determine download speed.

As always, the best speed is with an ethernet cable.  Wi-FI can be slower.

Thank you....but....what updates could possibly be needed EVERY DAY?  When I open my security and privacy....tells me that I am completely updated....but rest assured when I turn it on again, it will say wait...updating?!

Sorry to be a pain 🙂

Answer my original question ........

Also, are you on metered service? See here.

Hi!  Okay...I did the meter thing....don't ya just hate us dummies......but now I am off to work....when I come home very late I will turn it on and see!  Forgive me, but what WAS your original question?

Regardless, thank you again for your patience and time!

Hey just sayin' You should give the solution to the person who answered, not yourself!

@dslynn17,

Just remember to define the time of the metered service, so it will do it when scheduled.  My original question about your MB/rate of Internet Service.

@Huffer,

Thanks for the comment.
