I've worked in educational institutions with Windows 10 PCs, and
sometimes the admins there had them rigged so updates didn't get
slapped on right after starting Windows, but only when ending
a session. If I'm not mistaken, there'd sometimes be a roughly
5-minute delay after firing up Windows too, but if the whole
gig lasted several hours, that time was no skin off my back.

  Way I remember it, when wrapping up a sesh, Windows 10 would
  fetch data over the internet, which can take a hot minute.
  But there were some things that could only get the green light
  after a reboot. Those would run on the next startup, but didn't
  usually drag on too long since they didn't need to haul in data
  remotely. More often than not, they'd only set you back a couple
  minutes. That said, I could see that process hitting the skids if
  a ton of updates piled up or you were working with a sluggish rig.
