To this day, I still don't understand what takes windows updates so dam long. Not sure about Mac, but Linux takes, what, 5 minutes at most if you've gone a while.
Can't remember a windows update taking longer than 5 minutes. And even if it did take that long, you can just press "update and shutdown" when you stop using the pc. Windows has a lot of problems but this isn't one of them.
If your computer is always running it may never take longer than five minutes. But try to leave your computer shut down for a month or more. Then updates accumulate and it can take really long to make them.
