Re: Acme of Perfection
I doubt Windows update is hung, it's just not written to run in a timely manner any more. As no one seems to schedule the updates to run at a quiet time I guess they've decided to make it effectively a background task. It's not like speed of updates is a concern for your average user, they usually just see the "I need to reboot" message at the "end" of the process.
I think it's best to stop watching it and just leave it for a couple of hours. In my experience it gets there in the end.
