I just purchased a Sony Vaio E series 15128 laptop with windows 8 today. I have started the laptop regularly and it appeared to be running a little slow after it finished getting started. I thought that this may be because it had not had recent updates installed, so I installed the updates. This however, brought on constant freezing, but somehow finished three updates (of the original 12 updates that it needed). Slowly logging back onto my laptop after restarting from the updates, I tried to update the rest of the 9 that had not been included on the first set of updates, and they would not update. It's progression stays at 0%. My Internet is running fine (I'm accessing it perfectly from my iPhone right now) and I'm able to access it through google chrome on my laptop, but I avoid this as my laptop is constantly freezing even while it isn't doing updates! This is VERY frustrating, and is making my brand new laptop useless right now.
I have been searching the net for various answers and have seen a few similar issues with freezing problems but no solutions and none similar to mine, especially as my laptop is brand new! I have tried opening task manager as I have heard about a mcafee bug, but I don't even have mcafee, I have trend micro.
If anyone can help me with this it would mean a lot.
