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

    I think I may have something here.  I found another thread that had issues with 1803 and disabling the virtualization capabilities of the CPU.  

    I went into the BIOS and disabled the virtualization options on my CPU, didn't help, so I went through 1:1 eliminating, using a 1809 installer USB drive to test, since the same issue happens there.

    I disabled "Execute disable bit" in the CPU features with both virtualization options and then hardware prefetcher.

    It loads into the install now. 

    After install though the UEFI bios does not detect the windows boot manager

    I had to manually select the windows boot manager in the bios for some reason, booted into windows but NONE of the CPU or Motherboard drivers were installed.

    As soon as I installed them and rebooted, same issue, hang on boot. 

    At this point I have to think there is a bios incompatibility between MSI and whatever changes in 1809.

    I am having the same issue, I thought my CPU or MB was broke, so I bought a 2700X and X450 mb.

    I set up my 5930k & MSI X99s XPOWER AC board and installed 1803, and it worked fine.

    Updated all drivers, and it worked.

    As soon as I install 1809, it freezes immediately on the WIndows 10 boot screen.

    I was able to get 1809 to install, by creating a bootable media with both x86 and x64, and hitting F8 at the loading screen to do the install in safemode.

    The problem there though is after I get into the desktop, as soon as I install any motherboard or CPU drivers it either BSOD's or on reboot same freeze.
