It is checked for changes every hour I think. In v6 there was a separate schedule for it. It is also updated at the beginning of a scan.

Mine is not running all the time.

Ah OK. If it's not running it can't update.

I thought that maybe it was looking for update during it's start up because it's taking it's sweet time to start.

Could be.

[QUOTE=RaymondWindoz10;1437278][QUOTE=Phone Man;1437117]I have newer gotten a notification. I guess because on MS Update Tuesday I check a few programs for updates before doing an image with Macrium so everything is current. I check MB, Norton, Firefox, Vivaldi, and check their extensions and Flash. I also run sfc/scannow after all updates are done.

I have never run SFC on my comp. I usually rely on a defrag or CCleaner.

I checked out how to run SFC and it looks easy and trouble free.

Is it better to use than the above.......?

If it is such a good tool to use, why doesn't MSFT create a shortcut for us to use?

Why make it difficult for us ?

SFC (System File Checker) is not a cleaner or AV or defragger or anything like that. It checks the integrity of system files used for component services. It's run from an elevated command line, and will fix/repair what it can from the stored component backups. It is not a substitute for any of the above, nor are they substitutes for it. Two totally different worlds.

@Brink, the known issue with the components update 1.0.391 should be fixed in components update 1.0.421, please update the first post
