That is excessive. How can you tell its actively updating?

Did you have lots of third party programs on your device.

No, this is my work laptop. I've got Office installed and a few other programs, but nothing out of the ordinary. In the Windows update section of the control panel, there's a status screen with a progress bar. It seems as if it's installing a ton of things 1 by 1 as it will get to 100% for one thing, then move on to the next, but it's not very descriptive in terms of what it's installing. It just says 2017-11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4048954) or Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 as a couple examples.

Well if it moving then I guess you let it go. 24 hours is long.

I didn't time it exactly, but around 26 hours or so.

It failed on all four of our PCs, after hours in process. Thanks MS.

Sorry to hear that. Are these devices all the same make model?

Are they all running the same AntiVirus.

If you use the media Creation tool to create a USB thumb drive then you don't have to keep downloading. I would all turn on metered connections so this doesn't do this again in a useless attempt.

Once you've created a USB thumb drive, backed up your data, shut off AV, navigate to key on one device and double click setup.

Did you get any error messages you could share?
