Download Problems

stickmakerWin10 is downloading an enormous update. So enormous that after running most of yesterday it was literally just over 50% when I went to bed last night. Unfortunately, it was only at 56% when I woke the computer this morning!
Who designs a large download to pause when the screensaver comes on?!

I will note that in the four hours since waking the computer this morning, the update has reached 80%.
Also note that I am running this on an iMac via Parallels. However, I have successfully downloaded both Mac and Windows updates overnight before. (Though not in Win10.)

I have never checked as I've had that setting mess with background stuff that takes hours in the past.
