Make sure Allow downloads from other PCs is turned off so you're not letting Microsoft use your computer to update others over the internet.: Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update>Advanced Options>Delivery Optimization>Allow downloads from other PCs>Off

Thank you for your observations. I think that you have hit the nail on the head.
When I switched off last night, I had the option of installing updates before shut down.
No doubt the operation will complete when it boots up.
I've never known the OS to slow down as much as it did yesterday!
