Windows 10: Computer keeps shutting down after March 2025 Windows update

There were 3 critical windows updates that needed to be installed. Each time I tried installing, the download would freeze at like 6%, then the computer kept shutting off while trying to install them. I finally got 2 installed, but now it just keeps shutting off before the 3rd can finish downloading and then when I reboot it starts over downloading and shuts off again. It's a 4 year old lenovo yoga laptop, and it's worked great until this windows update. I've seen a few articles saying the latest windows update is breaking people's computers https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2025/03/14/m

windows 10 updates-March 2018

I have March updates that will not install. The automatic updates for 2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1709 for x64 based system (March KB4088776) were activated and downloaded to my computer, but they will not install on shutdown/restart.
When I check for updates, it shows that the updates are downloaded, but when I click to uninstall, there is not a date for installation. I have researched the Windows suggestions for this problem. They tell me to remove the January 2018 updates (January
KB4056892) and then reinstall the March update. When I attempted to uninstall the January update, I could see the update listed in the check for downloads screen, but when I click uninstall, the January update has a different reference number. Please advise.
I have talked to my technology department and they can't determine next steps either. VERY FRUSTRATING. I need my computer for work.
