Windows Update has always been extremely and inexcusably slow, but I 
just did a 'Check for Updates' and it took 10 seconds.  In the past I 
remember waiting 10+ minutes for that to complete (Win7).

Windows updating has never been obtrusive to me.  Now it's even more 
hidden: it installs the updates and if necessary restarts 'outside of 
active hours' so I never even see it, and am never interrupted.  Ever.

I just turned on the settings to make Windows Update as obnoxious as 
possible:
'Get the latest updates as soon as they're available' On
'Get me up to date'  On
'Notify me when a restart is required to finish updating'  On
Set active hours manually 5am to 6am.

I want to see if it becomes a pain in the ass.
