Just purchased a Toshiba laptop with Windows7 Home Edition pre-installed.

Almost every time I turn it on it finds new updates and downloads them.

And almost every time I power it off it installs the updates.

I'm talking 19 out of 20 times I turned it on or off this happened. Sometimes it takes a good 10 to 15 minutes to install the updates before my laptop will power off.

Kind of pain in the rear when I want to bolt out of a place. I have wait and wait and wait.

I just changed the settings so that it will ask me first before downloading or installing. That way I can do both when I have time.

Question is: Is this frequency of new updates normal behavior for Windows 7?
