I've had the same long update time on my laptop running Win10 when I ran the update a couple of days ago.

There is a possible fix and if your company is decently sized, I'd be surprised if they're not doing this already. The fix I've seen with slow update times is to move the update source local; meaning set up a WSUS server. Because I'm a nerd, I had set up a WSUS server as a VM on my home network. I have some of my Windows servers pointed to the WSUS server now and the updates are lightening quick. Updates of a few hundred MBs are completed in a few minutes.

I haven't pointed my Win10 laptop to the WSUS server yet because I don't want to join it to my domain controller. I found some instructions on hacking the registry to get it to get updates from my WSUS server but have been lazy about doing it.
