Unable to update Windows 10 to v1809. Freezing at boot after reboot.

I am not being able to update my windows 10 device. After all the update files downloaded, I restarted the system (2 times). But it freezes at a boot screen like the image. It doesn't boot up. Even the keyboard isn't working at this time. And after I force shutdown using button and restart again, it takes too long to restart. And everything is back to normal like previous.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is it only me facing this issue? 

How to solve this or update my system? Someone, please help me.

PC specs:

RAM 32 GB

Graphics: NVIDIA 970

CPU: Intel(R) core(TM) i7-5820K @3.30GHz 3.30GHz

64 bit

I've installed a UXtheme patcher and a theme. If its the problem here. 

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    SOLVED installation of WIN10 update 1806 with install of 1903 after disabling all Intel virtualization features in BIOS.

    My ASUS P6 motherboard based desktop would complete the v1806 update, but not reboot to a desktop.  It would complete 100% and reboot but fail on the reboot.  Alternatively, I tried to install the August 2019 1903 update.  Neither the USB or DVD with the 1903 iso file would boot.  I tried everything I could think of and followed hunfreds of suggestions to install the updates.  Nothing worked.  The desktop would always fail to launch the desktop after reboot and would revert back to its prior version.  Finally, I went into the BIOS and disabled two setting related to Intel Virtualization.  Once Intel Virtualization was disabled.  I was able to easily install the 1903 update from an ISO I had copied to the desktop. The update installed smoothly and rebooted as it should.  ALL IS WELL in updaate land for now.

    HP has posted a BIOS update also.  That fixed my HP Spectre and it is now happily running 1809.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I found a temporary solution in that I'm on the Developer Preview: I moved to the fast cycle which skipped the current October 2018 update and moved to the May 2019 one instead (18xyzz).

    For that version luckily the issue has gone away.

    Best regards,

    Frank

    Quite possible that modified system files by UX Patcher might be a reason for fail.

    How are you trying to update?
