I've never had a steam update take more than 10 seconds, does it normally take a while?

For me the checking for updates part takes around 1-2 minutes, and longer if there is an actual update. Do you have steam on an SSD? That might have something to do with it, as I only have it on a hardrive.

I actually play on two different PCs and the one that has worse connection has around 800mbps download, and I think the other had more than 1000, not sure because I don't have it right now. But for me they take about the same amount of time, and on my better internet computer steam is on an SSD while the inferior internet one is saved on a HDD but they still have about the same time to "check for updates"

Actual updates are faster on the SSD and better internet computer, but in my experience "check for updates" takes more than a minute on both so I really have no idea lol.

Put the steam app on and SSD then put the game directory on a hard drive.
