Win 7 x64 Home Premium (and x86 VirtualBox VM)
Wales - probably in the pub
 
 

Which update is it installing (has it completed yet?)

If it's installing Service Pack 1, this can take a few hours, depending on the state of your system - but any more than 3 hours would be highly unusual.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit
Peterborough, England
 
 

As Noel states, SP1 can take two or three hours to download, install and configure.

You'll also find that .NET Framework updates can take along time too.

You also need to check that updates such as Microsoft Security Essentials have completed their routine before you try and install more updates.
