Maybe I needed to configure something, but I tried Chocolatey a little while ago on a fresh install of Windows and it seemed to take forever to do anything. Maybe I'm just spoiled by how quickly apt update and apt upgrade go, but it would hang for so long that I thought chocolatey had frozen.

I don't think so. All I've got is Windows Defender and seeing as how that's a default program in 8 and 10, I'd expect a little more effort on Chocolatey's part to notifier users about that if it was the cause.

I don't really get it. I did a fresh install of it a few minutes ago, gave the command to install 7zip. Then it downloaded the file, said it was installing, and it just sat there for 10-15 minutes before I got fed up and hit CTRL+C to cancel it. Then it kicked back into gear and magically finished the install somehow?
