Windows Update in Vista

Just before Christmas I received several updates, I think it was about six, and clicked the Icon to install them. The PC, which is a 64 bit with 4gig RAM and running Vista Home Premium, took two and a half hours to install these updates, during this time I couldn't use the PC and when it finished it asked for the PC to be restarted and this took a further 30 minutes. What is wrong, if anything?
