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 issue, looks like it's affecting a lot of MSI motherboards in particular.

    i7 5820K

    MSI X99S SLI Krait Edition

    On acer switch 11v, i was able to update with update assistant tool, with a few errors on restart. Eventually got it, and restarted a few times after just fine. But i shut down completely, and thats when problems started.  It would never boot up. Eventually forced to use recovery drive, but did little to help. Tried startup repair, fix mbr in command prompt nothing worked. Still wouldn't boot from a complete shutdown.  Forced to do a fresh install. Then i updated to 1803, which was fine.  But when i tried to update to 1809 again, same thing. It would never boot up from a complete shutdown. So did a fresh install again, now on 1803 again til this gets sorted out.

    Same problem here with my HP Spectre x360 - 15-ch008tx.

    I've tried a number of times.

    I have an MSI X99A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM motherboard and I have the same problem.  If I install the update to 1809, on the first reboot the system just hangs.  I even created a bootable USB with 1809, and when I try to boot up the USB drive, it hangs as well.  I will have to stay on 1803 until this is resolved.

    Same issue here: Updating a new Surface Book 2 to Windows 10 1809 lead to frozen boot screen after Windows asked me to reboot (only the white Windows logo is visible in the center of the screen and I see a rotating disk indicator below that). I waited for a reboot more than 4 hours after being stucked in the boot screen, the re-boot leads to the same issue!

    @MICROSOFT: Do you guys think this is funny? I don't have time to waste with fixing the problems of your QA department! I am not amused at all and will indeed start looking for other alternatives!
