Is this in the usual (Windows 7-esq) Windows Update in Control Panel? No issues there for me. I have lots of updates installed, 1 pending which is Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 and 1 optional which is the stupid Bing Desktop Search.
As for the new Task manager, I prefer it. The "Fewer Details" view is light on information, but it's now completely trivial to use compared to the old Task Manager. But, you're obviously above the pay grade of needing basic functionality, so should you need it, the "More Details" section still gives you CPU, Memory, Disk and Network usage, Tasks and Services just like the old Task Manager did. That really hasn't changed since Windows NT 4.0. |
