I ran windows update this morning at 09:30 GMT and it found "Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Security Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.401.10.0) - Current Channel (Broad)" was available. It then took 30 minuted to install it! This is an inordinately LONG time! Why does it take SO long? I had no other apps/programs running at the same time.

That's no help at all.
The internet connection is not an issue because the download was complete. It was stuck for 30 minutes showing "Installing - 0%...."
On 27 October 2023 I chose to install the optional update "2023-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64 based systems (KB5031445)" and that took 11 hours!!!
Can anyone offer any meaningful help?
While you're thinking about reinstalling Windows, install Linux instead. Much cleaner, quicker and runs almost everything Windows related (if you can't bear to be without them). I recommend Linux Mint for a first-timer, but there are lots of distributions available. They're all free and there's no tracking. I have a Windows VM for the two programs that the software manufacturers can't be bothered to compile a linux version for (and don't work through Wine). You'll thank me.
We really are confusing each other.
The Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Security Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.401.10.0) - Current Channel (Broad) took 30 minutes to download and intstall this morning and it was only 12.1Mb in size.
The 2023-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64 based systems (KB5031445) took 11 hours to install on 27 October.
1). I have 873 Gb of free space on my hard drive!!
2). I have run the windows update troubleshooter several times and it cannot detect the problem.
3). How do I know WHICH startup program to disable?
4). My antivirus is Microsoft Windows Security and scans have revealed "No threats found"
Hey John!
My name is Ravi, an independent advisor and expert user. I am happy to help you. :)
I understand how hard it can be to wait for so long to install an update.
The update time depends on an internet connection, update size, and network settings.
I know waiting for 30 minutes can be quite long. But there isn't much to do about it.
Feel free to get in touch again if you have any additional questions.
Cheers,
Ravi
Hi Ravi
That didn't help I'm afraid - it still took 12 minutes to download and install a 41Kb microsoft security intelligence update!
I have also checked my internet connection speed, it is 53.85Mb/s.
