Because you are using your Laptop and clock watching. Take a break, just let it get on with the job.

I normally have no idea how long these updates take, I just fire them off and close the Settings app. When they're done and the "reboot" prompt shows up in the system tray, I go in and see what got updated and what is still pending or had errors.
