Windows 10: Windows 10 update taking 12+ hours

Hello everyone. My system (Dell Inspiron 5577) has been updating to Windows 10 April (or May, confused here) 2020 (Insider Program, Slow Ring) since the last 12 hours. It occasionally restarts but it's extremely slow and has been stuck at 90% since the last 3-4 hours. I'm planning to wait on a couple more hours before killing it. What should be my next step? Should I kill the system? Should I wait it out? It was on 1909 build before the installation.

Windows Defender- Full scan takes 10-12 hours

I have Windows 10 installed and when Windows Defender does a full scan it takes 10-12 hours. Why so long? On another Windows 10 machines with Windows Defender it will take 2-3 hours for a full scan. What may the reason for this?
