Windows 10 Update is Taking Too Long

When I turned on my PC this morning (10/2/2016), the windows started installing update.  And it is taking ridiculously long time!

After 20 minutes...

After 50 minutes...

We turn on PC because we have things to do!

My PC has 2.6 GHz quad-core processor with 6GB RAM.  It's connected to 500 Mbps internet via network cable (not WiFi).  It really should not take this long.

What is going on with this update? 

Is there a way to cancel out of this?

Did you temporarily disable your anti-virus?

What is the KB reference number of the update being installed?

No.  The update automatically started at the boot time.  There was no chance to do such a thing.

Since Windows is still showing "Working on updates" blue screen (after almost 3 hours!), can't tell you what KB it's installing.  Whatever Microsoft released in the past few days.
