Windows 10: doing the win 10 May 2019 update my PC restarted but appears to be stuck. Hard drive light...

The last onscreen message I saw was download at 100% then the PC screen blinked and went off. The HD light is blinking as if there is activity going on for the last twelve hours. I don't think this is normal.

2019-04 Cumulative Update KB4495667 stuck in restart to finish


My Pc runs Windows 10 Home 64 Bit v 1809

I noticed that Windows Update has had indigestion with the latest Cumulative Update (2019-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 v 1809 for x 64 bases systems KB4495667) which is stuck Requiring a restart to finish installing.

I have restarted several times with no luck.

Have also run the Trouble Shooter which could not identify the problem.

I then checked for updates in case it would offer it again, but all that was listed was 2019-02 Cumulative Update for NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 KB4486553 which has Successfully installed.

KB4495667 still refusing to do so.





I have downloaded it from from the Windows Update Catalogue ... file windows10.0-kb4495667-x64_a0713c961b994da102ee4a300d2f571ec567af20.msu

What is the safest thing to do now, do I just double click to install it?

I am no computer expert so will need easy to follow steps.

External hard drive not appearing on Win 10

Just upgraded to Win 10 (Home Premium 64-bit) and suddenly my computer won't acknowledge my external LaCie Rugged hard drive. (I get the little diddy saying it's been connected, but it never appears.) My WD drive and my LaCie Porsche drive both still work,
but not the Rugged (which still works on my Win 7 laptop). I really need access to this drive! Any suggestions??
