My problem with this is that my PC becomes almost completely unresponsive during the update installation.

I know Windows is installing an update just by noticing how unresponsive the machine is, and when I check, sure enough, Windows is at work. It is truly ridiculous that an update takes this much time, and has this much computational cost as well!!! I really don't get it!!

Sometimes the updates are long and slow, like the one for if you had a much older version. Except network factors, firewalls, hard drives also could cause the slow updates. Could you tell me which version of your Windows 10? Make sure your computer does not have any third-party anti-virus software installed to eliminate the third-party problems. Besides, if all the methods you had try and still update slowly, you could feedback this situation to Microsoft via Feedback Hub app.

I have the same complaint. The download speed is extremely slow. My internet isn't the fastest in the world but is 20 mbs. MS download for cumulative update is a few mbs at best. I'm outside my 'Active hours' so that shouldn't be an issue. What is even worse is that after it downloads it evidently it downloads it again to compare it. This is wouldn't comparing the hash on both sides suffice?
