Windows updates take 5 minutes max on any semi-recent CPU and NVMe SSD.

The major H1/H2 releases take a bit longer, up to 15 minutes. But not stuck at 100%.

You are completely missing the point of the original comment. Why is my computer unusable for X minutes when I didn't expect that and perhaps, needed some critical work done?

Yeah right, implying everyone should get specified hardware to have a decent user experience definitely seem to be making sense.

And apt/dnf/pacman finish major system updates in seconds on that sort of hardware, so Windows still underperforms by orders of magnitude.
