Hello guys sorry for so much quiet time on the site I was busy with my exams so that is why it has been so quiet on my site lately but now I am back and today we are here to know about the reason for slow updates in windows 7 and a pretty easy and simple work around for it.

We all know a very nasty problem in windows operating systems are their slow update scans and downloads and if you are experiencing it then not to worry you are just one of those millions user who face it daily. Updates are supposed to be fluent and frequent for security reasons and user experience reasons but if it takes a lot of time user usually start to think that what is the need its already working fine. let me tell you a simple solution on how you can save a lot of time by patching your windows operating system with the fix after all time is money. So if you are getting your update scan time in hours or even sometime days then this post is literally for you and you only.
So now let’s start with the solution of the problem and yes one more thing do not worry of any piracy and virus crap here the updates are legitimately approved and rolled out by the Microsoft. And the solution for the problem is Update KB3138612 and KB3145739

Note: You should patch update KB3138612 Before KB3145739 for this to work correctly it may work even if you patch it any other order but for stability reasons you should follow the instructions.
The UPDATE – KB3138612: is the march update for windows 7’s update client.
& UPDATE – KB3145739: is a security update for windows 7 graphics component also known as MS 16-039 the security patch which fixe some bugs in the kernel.
At first it may sound weird combining two different kind of updates for fixing a problem but believe me if leave any one from them the fix will not work kb3138612
To Check if You have KB 3138612 Installed (only on windows 7), Clack Start > Control panel > System and Security > View Installed Updates. Click on the name to sort your vast collection of updates by name and look for the KB3138612 update if you don’t have it go to KB article and download it (links to the KB article below post) appropriate to your install i.e. X86 or X64. Same goes for the KB 3145739

By checking the solution personally, I can assure you that by installing the patches you will be saving lots of your time the next time your will be scanning for most recent windows updates.

Hack WPA/WPA2 WPS Wifi Hack

When it was known that a WEP network could be hacked by any kid with a laptop and a network connection (using easy peasy tutorials like those on our blog), the security guys did succeed in making a much more robust security measure WPA/WPA2. Now hacking WPA/WPA2 is a very tedious job in most cases. A dictionary attack may take days, and still might not succeed. Also, good dictionaries are huge. An exhaustive bruteforce including all the alphabets (uppercase lowercase) and numbers, may take years, depending on password length. Rainbow tables are known to speed things up, by completing a part of the guessing job beforehand, but the output rainbow table that needs to be downloaded from the net is disastrously large (can be 100s of GBs sometimes). And finally the security folks were at peace. But it was not over yet, as the new WPA technology was not at all easy for the users to configure. With this in mind, a new security measure was introduced to compliment WPA. Wifi Protected Set

Image Credit: Samsung Recently Samsung introduced their Galaxy Home Smart Speakers powered by Bixby Assistant from Samsung and it is yet to hit the market, but rumours about them planning an affordable version of the speakers which will also be powered by their voice assistant Bixby. Although the full specification of the speaker is not yet known it is expected to have less features being the affordable one than the pricier one i.e. the Galaxy Home Smart Speakers. This could most likely be their strategy as the Galaxy Home Speaker may compete with the Apple HomePod which cost somewhere around 349 USD but for Samsung to compete with more affordable speakers available in the market like Google Home and Amazon Echo which are available at less than 200 USD or so they had to take this approach. Even though the launch Is not yet confirmed, for Samsung to be able to compete in this niche they will have to focus on the potential customers who opt for more affordable kind of appro
