Windows 10: PC not restarting on its own after update from Windows 10 1909 to 20H2

Hi, I am updating Windows 10 from 1909 version to 20H2. After downloading the Windows 10 20H2 update using media creation tool and selecting the option upgrade my PC now, it did download and install. And then I got a prompt that the PC will restart many times. It's been 7 hours but the PC has not restarted. Yesterday when a similar thing happened, I restarted the PC using power button, and it went back to 1909 version. Can you please help me. Thanks in advance.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
