Did you read the OP?

The eternal "checking for updates" on both windows 7/8 is a very common bug when it requires a lot of patching.

in fact if you google "checking f" by that stage google will suggest

an issue 1 worse than testicle cancer. Should at least attempt to read OP before reacting to the title at a guess?.

You know for some people Microsoft can do no wrong, so if you are experiencing problems it must be, by definition, user error.

I would guess to be fair that if you were a fan or even neutral towards Ms though, the thread title is very strongly worded and could well invoke a "fuck you so" reaction from some people, I understand it's as annoying as all heck when you just want to get a PC back up and running and it does that infinite checking for updates (I normally resolve it by just restarting over and over about 5-10 mins into the thing, eventually it manages to install 1 or 2 updates which seem to iron out issues, but yeah it's torture).

That said though

WHY DO SO MANY COUNTRIES HAVE LICE, WTF YOU GUYS, I'M NEVER GOING ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF IRELAND AGAIN, UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Also @ SvennoJ I lol'd that Yahoo doesn't know any issues, I'm surprised the results aren't "Checking for blockbuster opening hours" or "checking for solitare in Windows 95" Ahh Yahoo, you so outta touch.
