Windows 10: Updates cause boot-up failure

Last night as I shutdown my computer the blue updates screen appeared, the one that says "Installing updates, 10%, 20%, ...Do not shut off your computer". That was strange since I always thought I was able to choose when to update.

This morning my computer would not boot up. I used a USB recovery drive and system restore to get my computer running again. Since I wasn't doing anything unusual yesterday I am convinced it was an update.

Now I have four updates awaiting restart to finish: KB4503327, KB4465065, KB4503308 (Flash Player), and KB4503327. The updates except for Flash Player are all 1809 x64-based systems.

I looked online and found no way to install these four one at a time.

Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do to avoid a boot-up failure again?

Confusing Disk Boot Failure

Well, Brand new Harddrive the western digital se16 caviar 640. Had a clean install, and while installing drivers and programs after a couple restarts I am receiving disk boot failure. Not the first restart or the second. Each time that it has given me the failure was after installing updates. I've system restored to before installing the updates and it works fine. It's a large list of around 38 or so updates. Granted may be a fluke but anyone heard of this?

• Select View advanced system settings.
• Under the Startup and Recovery section, click
  Settings.
• Under System Failure, remove the check mark next to
  Automatically restart and click OK.

Confusing Disk Boot Failure

I've had this happen to me when I was installing stuff on my board.. Go, update by update and install them.. don't go and let Vista just download and install. That way you can find the problem update, and make it to where you don't use the updater to do it... A lot of times it has to do with Nvidia...
