Most likely it is not frozen up: A "Windows update cleanup" on a rotating disk can take many hours, if not a day or two. A less than powerfull CPU can also make a big difference.
I have seen it running on a Laptop 5400RPM disk running for 29 hours without any appreciable change on the progress bar.
Check your task manager and IO stats for activity by Cleanup Manager, Windows modules installer and Windows update service.
