look at the screenshot, the update is already downloaded

Look, I don't know if your hardware/software is fine so I won't bother commenting on that. I'm not some tech guru that can diagnose stuff based on random words.

That said, I did play a lot of Payday 2. That game was for a long time notorious for long updates over small patches due to the way the game was packaged. The client basically had to unpack a large file, apply the patch, repack it... you get the idea.

Wait a min. I just opened my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eyes. 3mb/s? What kind of install speed is that. Okay, that's kind of worse than Payday 2. Forget I said anything.

WWM is installed on my HDD which will be slower. Thing is I don't think 3mb/s is normal even on a hdd because that is really really bad. Marvel rivals is installed on my ssd, however when i update rivals, i check my task manager and it uses the HDD to update

I'm not a complete pro. But, even in the worst possible conditions my father can transfer several time faster on his external HDDs. I mean, HDDs are slow but not 150mb in 2 hours kind of slow unless it's a Payday 2 situation on absolute overdrive.

When was the last time you defragged your HDD?

When was the last time you did a disk check on your HDD?

I have the same issue, but on my SATA SSD. Let me know if you find a fix

99% of the time this is your anti-virus locking the files and making the patching process take forever

Uninstall everything except Windows Defender

Steam no longer display the patch size, expect it to be as big as the whole game installation size. In this case it's often quicker to uninstall the game and install it again.

Note unless you are on a 5400rpm laptop hard drive from the early 2000s, patching a game, even a large one, won't take that much longer.

99% of the time, 'this is taking too long' is because your system is disk IO limited. This is again, 99% of the time, terrible consumer anti-virus that tries to justify its existence by scanning something every other second making it so painfully slow while providing zero value. Uninstalling these junk consumer AV and sticking with MS Defender will improve your patching speeds significantly.
