It will still occasionally pause, but loads on reboot so there probably still a bit more. Trying to get my OC back now and not having any luck but it does boot fine on stock settings.
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.

RAM 32 GB

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

2018-10-13T16:23:20+00:00 Excellent write-up! I'll give this a shot and see if this works.
You did the troubleshooting for MSI! Hopefully they release a new BIOS with updated microcode?

2018-10-13T16:10:46+00:00 So I got it to work!
Looks to be an MSI microcode issue.
I took the latest bios for my board and used a tootl called UBU to read the microcode in the bios. Found the CPUID 306F1 was in an old revision:

I updated it based on the instructions here:

I ONLY updated the microcode, nothing else.
Now it boots every time with everything enabled for the CPU

I have 2 bios selections on my MB so it made it easy to test this.

2018-10-13T15:08:02+00:00 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.
