You can always check for updates manually via Windows Update but it does happen automatically every day. Actually, Windows Update checks for updates randomly, every 17 to 22 hours.
How long should Windows Update check take?
The problem is, it won’t go past the Checking For Updates dialog. It usually takes about anywhere from 20-60 seconds to find the updates.
Why is Windows checking for updates taking so long?
Outdated or corrupted drivers on your PC can also trigger this issue. For example, if your network driver is outdated or corrupted, it may slow down your download speed, so Windows update may take much longer than before. To fix this issue, you need to update your drivers.
