Fortunately, there are some cases where the update seems stuck and restarting the machine resolves that issue. This is the time required for the majority of these updates and there is not a lot you can do to reduce this time. In most of these cases, the update seems to be stuck at a certain percentage but it actually isn’t.

As mentioned earlier, some of the users do get the update fairly quickly while others have to go through 24 hours or even longer update periods. The reason behind the long wait of the Windows update isn’t clear. Since the computer might start updating automatically, it will be a huge annoyance because you will have to wait so many hours just for an update. You might continue to see a loading screen for 3-4 hours without any progress even at this stage. Even after 24 hours, it might seem like the update is stuck around 90% or 80%. Even though it might take a couple of hours for some users, but for a lot of users, it takes more than 24 hours despite having a good internet connection and a high-end machine. The time it takes for an update depends on a lot of factors including the age of your machine and the speed of your internet connection. Some of these Windows updates, especially on Windows 10, might take a really long time to complete. Although these Windows updates are very useful in keeping the system updated it might become a headache as well. Microsoft releases a lot of Windows updates to fix problems or to add new features to the Windows.
