I'm sorry but as much as I hate Windows, the only updates that take this long are feature updates that happen twice a year. The vast majority of windows updates take less than a minute for me and don't require a restart. Even the ones that do finish in under 5 mins
Not true. Cumulative updates also take a while, so do the .NET runtimes. Maybe you have a system with a super fast NVMe drive and a new CPU so you don't realize it, but other OSes can do much more with much less powerful hardware.
