For the slowness with Win7 WU....two updates have proven to be
helpful, if not installed.

Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: March
2016
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612

Security update for Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers: May 10, 2016
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3153199


Install, in the order shown above(IE11, WU Client, Kernel update).

I tried IE11, plus the Cumulative Update, and the
delay is 84 minutes.

The point is, the rollup by itself, isn't making
Windows 7 reinstallation any easier. There is still
an 84 minute delay.

What's the difference between

rollup
84 minute delay
Review a smaller number of updates

versus

84 minute delay
review all updates

It's still freaking annoying. The installation time is
shorter - the rollup method is faster than slogging
through updates one at a time. But the 84 minute delay
fouls up any idea of a workflow for anyone doing this.
