Well I naturally did "tlmgr update --self". And then tlmgr says

G:\Z-Test>tlmgr update --self
tlmgr.pl: package repository http://ctan.ijs.si/mirror/tlpretest/
tlmgr.pl: saving backups to D:/texlive/2015/tlpkg/backups

and then nothing happens but the CPU use raises and the ventilator
works a lot.
