Windows 10: Windows 10 update taking more than 24 hours

Started the update on Tuesday around 5:00 pm and it was still running the following day at 5:00 pm. Message said it was running the update 100%. I need my computer so I shut it off. When I restarted it backed the upgrade back off automatically since it wasn't finished. What's taking so long. I do use Norton so could that be causing it not to finish? I plan not to update since my computer would be useless for several days.

DISM is taking over 24 hours

I'm having problems installing Windows Updates so I thought that if I use DISM and then SFC, that it might fix the problem.

When I run

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

It takes over 24 hours to complete and the progress stays at 20% for over 24 hours.

How can this be fixed?

My internet connection is working.
