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.

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

What semi-annuall update channel you set? Targetted or not? I do not know exactly but I guess that MS on target channel records failed updates together with W(in)er(rror or )fault report sent by comp and does not force new update until... ????
I'm not sure about what you're asking, regarding update channel or targetting, i wasn't even aware these are options. I just check for updates every time I'm on my machine.
Windows 10 Pro or Home? That makes a difference on how your machine receives updates.

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.
I'm having the EXACT same issue on the same machine. A few of my students are claiming their devices did Windows Updates last night now the machine freezes on startup!
I'm still on 1803 now, my machine won't let me update to 1809 anymore even when I do a "check for updates", which leads me to believe that at least Microsoft is aware of the problem, or at least has detected that my machine has done a bad update in the past. But the fact that it allows your students to update is worrisome, in that it doesn't flag specific models as troublesome, only users who have had unsuccessful udates?
Curious - what version of windows 10 are you on? My HP Spectre (Win 10 Pro) is doing the same as yours it appears. !809 is not being offered.
I reverted back to 1803, and it has stayed there ever since. Even with daily "check fif updates" it won't update to 1809, which us us i know it's blocked on my acer switch 11v.
