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

    Same problem with Acer Switch 11v SW5-173, after 1809 update boot hangs

    on logo screen with rotating circle

    Boot with F2-Bios .. quit .. boots to windows

    Fast Boot disabled and it looks like "Restart" will work,

    but when the device enters any type of

    energy save mode, it does not boot.

    Hard Reset and then Bios step needed to reboot again,

    hoping Win will not enter Repair mode

    The answer from Acer some posts above is

    a kick in the ass for every customer and my conclusion

    is to never ever buy Acer again.

    Today MS did another attempt to upgrade my Win10 x64 LENOVO T530 on 1809.  Same result: restart, freeze...and recovery. Stopped WU.

    It seems to be solved with me.

    Power management was on "high performance" and I turned off "fast boot".

    Had first done an update with media creation tool but kept stuck at windows emblem.

    So search further, and it goes well now at a cold start pffff ......

    update22-01

    After hibernation again problems, PC froze again even after reboot, after another restart, everything again okay.

    So there is still something that is really wrong.

    I will not use sleep mode .....

    I used the Media creation tool to try to update my computer to 1809, it killed  my computer! It got stuck in a blank screen. Microsoft is having serious issue with this update 1809.  They better figure out what is  the problem before telling people to update.   Very unreliable operating system!
