The whole process of downloading, installation, and functioning, etc. of Windows update assistant takes a bit more time than any other ordinary software. It is good to wait while working with machines.

Windows 10 comes with driver update also hence it might take some time while updating your driver completely.
Driver updates generally takes longer time than any other normal updates. It first removes the outdated version of your driver and then updates it this removal process takes some time.
Driver updates takes huge amount of time hence try to update it on your own. Download the latest versions of your driver and then go for Windows update this will consume less time in updating your device.
Manual updating is easier and takes less time. You will get the manual download of every driver update I the respective developer website. Updating your driver will generously reduce the time requires to update your computer or laptop.

It is advised to stop any third party anti-viruses that are actively running in your device.
These anti-viruses sometimes blocks the updates from Windows and hence it takes much longer time than required. It is our recommendation for you that while updating your device keep the anti-virus disabled so that your third party anti-virus is unable to detect the new softwares and updates.
Your third party anti-virus app may consider the Windows 10 assistance as spyware. This can unnecessary cause delay in your updates.
According to me, Window provides a very robust defence system that is Window Firewall hence; we do not need any additional third-party app to provide protection from malwares.
Method 4: Restart Windows Update Services
There are various services that runs in your device background due to any fault or difficulties this, might come to a halt. These difficulties, which causes the process to stop, occurs due to some malwares or technical issues.
The sudden stop in certain services caused halt to your system if the services does not resume automatically.

1. Open Run window by typing Windows key + R in the search bar
2. Now, type “service.msg” in the white space, which will open the service window.
3. Now, start searching for Windows update and the list of services.
4. Right click on any service to permanently stop it until new updates from Microsoft.
5. Now, follow the same step as above to restart the service.
6. The update will start automatically once the services start smoothly.
