I've tried to install this update on my laptop, but it's stuck at 20% installing. Any help?

Multi billion dollar Microsoft at its best. Another update, another days productivity destroyed by a computer that won't do anything due to another stuck update.
How many times have I read Microsoft's claims that we can update when we want? And yet still, here we are, with a forced update that takes all day and more.
Planning on a new system, now looking towards apple.
I went to services.msc then at bottom double clicked windows update. I started it and stopped it like 10 times over an hr., with windows update window open( Showing update @20%) and after a couple of times the % started moving. It Stuck again at 46%, so I repeated on and off with Windows update under services, another few times got me to 77%, I think I finally rebooted there, and when I finally got back to check updates screen, boom it went to 100% and said to restart it.
It took another 1/2+ hr., to boot and install/ updating windows don't shut comp...
So that was that...I hope it helps someone

I found out after trial and error that, you just have to let Windows update take it's time. I've waited 8-12 hours for certain updates to complete. Extremely frustrating since there is no status update bar that gives you an idea when update will be completed. By shutting down system early before updates were complete, I corrupted the operating system and needed to go to restore point or do a fresh install.
