This last update took forever on my just a few years old laptop. My computer did it fine, except it kept giving me updates to install every other day. I loathe Windows 10 updates with the fire from a thousand suns.

Install Windows 10 LTSC, the *real* professional version of Windows 10.

I am dependent on Windows 10, because of Office. As if Libre Office or Libre Calc weren't enough for most cases... Smh.

Is it a Windows 10 machine?
At this point it's safest to let it sit and finish.
For future updates:
I don't currently have a Win10 machine in front of me so I don't remember exactly where everything is, but I'll try...
(You should probably be logged in as Administrator.)
- Do a disk check on all of your hard disks first. My Computer -> Right click each drive -> Tools tab -> Error checking -> Check now -> make sure "Automatically fix" is checked. Let it reboot if needed.
- Open and delete the contents of C:\Windows\Temp. Hold down SHIFT when you hit delete to bypass the recycle bin.
- Open and delete the contents of C:\Users\[USER ACCOUNT NAME]\AppData\Local\Temp. Do all the accounts that are active. Hold down SHIFT when you hit delete to bypass the recycle bin.
- Run Disk Cleanup. On Windows 10, after it starts, click the "Clean up system files" button in the lower left. It may take awhile to scan. When it's done, select all check boxes and hit OK.
- Download and run CCleaner. Free version is fine. Use these settings:
On the application's main screen ("Cleaner" part) select all options except for "Wipe Free Space". Let it run.
- Install Unlocker
- Open and delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. This **shouldn't** bomb the system but I've seen on multiple systems major Windows Update slowness issues solved by deleting the contents of this folder. The "Download" directory is definitely safe to delete. I know that the entire contents of \SoftwareDistribution are safe to delete up to Windows 7... I've not tried it on a recent version of Windows 10. I **think** it will be fine. Hold down SHIFT when you hit delete to bypass the recycle bin. Any file or folder that says can't be deleted, skip. Right click the remaining files when done and select "Unlocker" from the menu to force delete. REBOOT after you finish with this to get Windows to rebuild a clean \SoftwareDistribution folder.
- After rebooting, run CCleaner again.
- You might want to at this point defragment your hard disk, I'm not sure what the "best" is these days but personally I would use PerfectDisk
- I would also probably run Auslogics Registry Defrag.
All versions of Windows are a pain to keep clean. If you've never run any of this before, expect to find tens or even hundreds of thousands of files that get deleted in the above steps. It can take awhile.
look at all this janitor bullshit
