Windows update taking a long time

[Jaysonic]

My laptop recently had a pending update for a "new windows 10 feature", I decided to update it by clicking update and shut down. Once doing this the screen said things such as preparing update and installing update.
Then a black screen popped up and had a white buffering symbol on the bottom, similar to the startup screen but without the hp logo. Ever since the update, my laptop has stayed on that screen for approximately 30 hours now, with the buffering symbol continuing.
Is this normal? Is there any possible way to speed up the process?

Windows update stuck. Is that right?

I will definitely help you.

Try restarting the PC once and check if that restarts the update process quickly.

Let me know for more.

Hi thanks for the help but 3 days ago I started the update and thought that it'll finish overnight but it didn't so I restarted my laptop and it said that it was retrieving my old version of windows. I decided to update it again after that and what I mentioned above is the result. This is the third day and it is still continuing.
