Whenever I do any Windows update which requires an automatic restart (e.g. after 30%) my PC blocks (screen freezes). The solution is to simply power-off my PC an restart it manually. The update then picks up as expected and finishes successfully. This always happens and with any update (if restart is required). I'm sure it can cause more serious side effects.
Update: I forgot to mention: A big upgrade (e.g. 1709 to 1903) fails after the manual restart and always gets rolled back... only updates like patches succeed. I manually installed 1903 to have the latest Feature Pack.
