2020-02 Updates KB4524244 Locks Up My Computer and Fails Install

I received the Patch Tuesday releases today.  KB4532693, KB4537759 and KB4538674 dropped in the first wave and all installed successfully.  On a subsequent "Check for Updates"  KB4524244 downloaded and installed but on the reboot, it rebooted the first time but froze hard on the second re-boot with Step 2 information and a frozen spinner on my screen, no keyboard or any access.  After about 15 mins I finally forced the system down.  On the reboot, my Secure Boot flagged me that the keys were corrupted.  I was able to get those repaired and reboot into the system.  I rebooted a couple more times but no updates attempted to install.  On a third "Check for updates, the same (KB4524244) update attempted to download but freezes the system at 94% on the download.  Again freezes hard requiring a hard re-set.  I tried flushing the Software Distribution cache but get the same results.

FYI:  I am running Windows defender with VBS (Credential Guard and Hypervisor enforced Code Integrity on an HP EliteDesk 705 G4 MT with a AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics.  I also have a similar set up running on an HP laptop (Intel i5), but the update installed fine on it.

    Yeah, I have an HP laptop that never has problems with updates.  It successfully updated yesterday.

    Greg, I'm not real tech savvy so some of what you suggest is greek to me.  Here is what I'm experiencing.  According to the update history, my updates have been crashing since August.  On February 11 an update was initiated.   It ran up to 61% completed and stayed there for six hours.  I finally shut to computer off and Windows undid the change.  Then yesterday (February, 16) another update was initiated at 9:00PM, at 11:00PM it was at 91%.  I let it run all night.  At 7:00AM this morning, it was still at 91%.  I again shut off the computer and the changes where uninstalled.  Okay, if I try to follow all the steps, will this help my situation or should I just reinstall Windows 10 and hope for the best?
