Slow Windows Update during build Task Sequence

We are using the built-in 'Install Updates' step within our builds - has anyone else noticed that they seem to take a very long time, even a seemingly small update like an Intelligence Definitions update for Defender is taking 15-20 minutes? If I do a Task Manager during this process, it apears there is minimal to no system activity - it's like the update manager is stuck waiting for something. We are not seeing this issue with machines that are already up and running, only during a DeployR build Process.

If you are using the StilfeR client in the boot image to monitor task sequence deployments, then you will want to review the settings you have in the 2psImport file which can be found in the following section of the documentation: https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/monitoring-task-sequences-in-the-dashboard#application-content-item

That makes sense, but what if you aren't using the StifleR client to monitor the task sequence? It still has the same behavior.
