Windows 10: System hangs after major feature update

I get the following endless repeating after a Windows update


DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service ShellHWDetection with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server:


{DD522ACC-F821-461A-A407-


This was mid april 2019



The symptoms of my problem seem to exactly mirror the problem reported in the thread below. I followed the suggested remedies but none of these helped

These are the results of those suggestions below. Following also another thread which wanted to follow-up looking at what update caused this, but I am in safe mode and the Windows Update screen is non-operative. Clicking on "Windows Update" under settings does nothing.

Is it possible to prevent Windows to reset many system settings to default after a major update (Fall Creators Update)?

I recently installed the Windows 10 Creators Update on many of my PCs, and as with previous "major" update releases, I noticed that many of the system settings, including things like:

• Energy options in device manager ("allow device to wake the computer from sleep"
  re-enabled for mice and keyboards which is annoying because I
  intentionally turned these off)
  
• basic mode of displaying the taskmanager and many more get reset to
  their defaults.
  

Since major updates are coming approximately twice a year, I was wondering: why does Windows do that, and is there a way to turn this behavior off? It is especially annoying if you install a computer for a novice user, and after an update you have to redo all these customization steps again.

On the other hand, many things like explorer settings stay the same, for example things like "show hidden files" or "show file extensions".

So the main questions are:

• which settings are reset after an update, and what's the criteria behind that selection, where others aren't?
  
• is there a list of the things that are reset during a
  major update for reference?

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
