If you did not choose "Ask me later" as your update setting during the install process, change your update settings via "Start" > "Windows Update" > "Change settings" > and choose "Never check for updates (not recommended)." Then restart your computer. One of the biggest issues users have encountered with the Convenience Rollup is when Windows Update gets stuck on "Checking for updates" with the graphic continually looping, giving no sign of progress being made.

This can be alleviated for users without an antivirus solution by installing Microsoft Security Essentials, or by installing a registry key that would be created by antivirus solutions to pass the check by Windows Update. Microsoft is requiring all antivirus software vendors to attest to the compatibility of their applications by setting a Windows registry key, but this also affects users with no antivirus solution. Users that have antivirus solutions that do not meet this compatibility requirement will likely encounter 'blue screen' errors.
