yeah, endless hours spend waiting for Windows Update. It is not so bad anymore.

The only thing I can think about comparing your setup to mine is that I rarely turns off my computer. If you only use your very infrequent and turn it off when not used. I wonder if Windows is doing all kinds of maintenance jobs every time you start your computer since it is off most of the time, and then when you manually hit windows update, it gets a bit busy working out the correct state of your computer

Those jobs are on my computer distributed over days / weeks but wit you they run every time you turn on windows since it couldn't run them at their scheduled frequency since the computer was off.

I am just speculating, but maybe try to turn on windows once in a while and leave it over night, to test if this improves things.
