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

    Well, my acer switch 11v notified me of the 1903 update, and I went ahead and did it.  Bear in mind all my attempts to update to 1809 failed.  In the beginning, the very same thing (fails to boot properly from powered off state) that happened in 1809 happened to 1903 also.  I did all the same things (startup repair, etc.) to try to fix it, to no avail.  I was all but ready to revert to 1803, when lo and behold I discovered a "trick" that lets me boot.  All I did was entered bios, changing nothing, and then proceeded to exit, saving changes.  Then it booted up!  I tried a second time, and it booted up again!  If this keeps up, I think I'll just stay on 1903.

    I have the same exact problem, as well as, the right side of my keyboard typing wrong letters.

    Yeah, I just gave up and locked down the MS updates.

    The old Dell M65 Precision is old, but runs Windows 10 32 bit just fine.  Just can't update anymore.  Oh well.  Seems Microsoft has abandoned some of their user community.

    I had to do 7! Win 10 Pro reinstalls after 1809 Update. HP Desktop could not start, could not boot, just a black screen. MS Customer support could not help. after numerous restarts I managed to get to repair mode. No other options available except to reinstall win 10 pro. done it once, 2 days it worked, new update comes in and no Boot again. Start all over again. 7! TIMES. MS! What tha Hell? Then I started making Sys Restore EVERY time I changed some settings in my PC. And...... Build in Skype. That is what caused all the problems. https://www.****/articles/uninstall-restore-windows-10-builtin-apps . I got rid of build in Skype, Now I do whatever I want, NO CRASHES!.

    That wouldn't be the full story if Ido not mention that my ASUS T3 chi laptop did EXACTLY the same. I reinstall win 10 4 times there and as soon as I got rid of Skype all works.

    Good luck!

    I have had 1809 running for about five minutes before it freezes.It could be a driver issue but like I have said before it will freeze even in safe mode and even with clean boots.It could be the 1809 itself or a common driver that is just not well vetted.Clean install will usually solve it but it still freezes and CPU goes full tilt.The only way to fix this is on MS,s end because all my attempts have proved futile.

    I'd be inclined to confirm this sort of issue with 1809 because even if I boot off of the USB created by the media creation tool, it locks up right after the windows flag is displayed before the balls in a circle are, and that would be without any of the HW drives I've added to 17134 Release 180410-1804 (so 1804?).
