Sad that so many comments here blame the user for what's obviously really bad programming in Windows Update and Windows Store.

A dev/engineer who spends time to whine on internet about a product because of a specific issue while he has not spent a second to investigate the root cause of the issue needs to take a lesson.
What would you think about someone who wrote an article stating that "Ford is gonna die soon because it took 5 minutes to start my car this morning and I have strictly no idea why" ? I guess you would think this person is somehow not very smart...

I'm 3 hours in and my laptop is still spinning 100% on Windows maintenance services. What root causes? It's simply bad OS programming.
Don't gaslight users just because it works on your machine and in your use case.
A dev/engineer who believes 3 hours of self-maintenance on bootup is normal needs to re-evaluate their priorities.

"What root causes? It's simply bad OS programming"
How would you know ? What investigations have you made ? When my Debian has issue when booting after updating my kernel, is it because Debian releases s*** ? No. It is because my setup has a problem I need to find and fix. Stop whining and fix your issue...

What the hell, man. This happens on every Windows 10 device that's left off for long periods of time. Stop blaming users for what's shitty programming/design.

Just booted up my laptop. CompatTelRunner is spinning two processes, one UpdateSoftwareInventory and one DoScheduledTelemetryRun. Meanwhile Edge and OneDrive have updated. I'm 10 minutes in. Spinning 100% CPU. Wuauserv and BITS are peeking in the background while telemetry is hogging everything.

15 minutes in. Wuauserv is stealing the show. Spinning 100%. Meanwhile, Google and Adobe took their turns in updating as well.
50 minutes in. Still going 100%.
90 minutes in. TiWorker -Embedding (servicingstack) is now spinning.
Meanwhile I believe Windows 95 already finished installing from floppy disks on my old Pentium laptop.
