The issue of updates not installing may have saved you from worse issues. Here is a description of updates from June which caused me significant trouble: https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/04/06/windows-10-update-kb4541335-is-wrecking-pcs/ https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/04/06/windows-10-update-k... https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/03/17/windows-10-kb4551762-new-issues/ https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/03/17/windows-10-kb455176... (other patch) From the first article: "Another user also told us that the KB4541335 update crashes the system and later causes 100% disk/CPU usage." That is pretty much what happened to me, especially the hard drive grinding. Also discovering that I couldn't use F8 to boot to safe mode any more. I discovered I had to wait a very long time to get to the login screen all the time with the HDD grinding and then shift click something to get the menus to be able to do a system restore without loading a user profile. Note to anyone using Windows, always have a Windows PE environment ready to boot to, even if you are a home user, it may save a lot of trouble.
