Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)

So many users facing the same issue! Since when has a simple upgrade become so complicated??

I tried (wasted my time) to upgrade ~5 times and have given up for good. Maybe using ubuntu is better

I tried to do the manual update, but kept getting errors at net stop msiserver, said the Windows installer system is not started. I tried typing in the next command and it said cannot rename because item at C':\Windows\SoftwareDistribution' does not exist.

Using the upgrade assistant worked for me. I had tried various other remedies including renaming softwaredistribution and all that. The update failed to install at least 10 times so this was an easy and welcome resolution. Thank you E for Excel

I've tried a mountain more things and the results are always the same. Reboot into 1803, the keyboard freezes and I'm forced to power off.

Always with the same failure mode:

I've uninstalled all sorts of things. Updated my keyboard drivers. Done a lot more cleaning.

Disabled pretty much everything I can and still boot. I clean boot and of course it blows chunks.

I have the SetupDiagResults log and a zip of logs but I'm not seing how I post those here.

Please find the log below. Any idea what is causing it?
