I ended up booting up in safe mode and updated through there, it was almost instant. It's all working now after that.

I've had issues with this before. I was able to resolve it by unplugging any USB (non keyboard or mouse) devices that were attached. More often than not, the culprit is a USB Label printer.
imho this is a classic symptom of the flame attack.
i only noticed it because i always have updates set to manual.
"cleaning up" is never said by m$.
sometimes they say "removing temporary files".
i have been hit by this virus many times.
the only reliable fix is to re-install.
i have yet to find a scanner to spot and isolate this bug.
i may start restricting my web travels to known safe sites.
good luck all.
