Windows 10: Updating to the latest November 1909 update

Here recently, my laptop just got fixed due to a major screen issue from the inside itself. I've been needing the November 1909 update for quite a while now and can't seem to install it. I would use the HP Update Assistant to get the update. 8 gigabytes needed to download the update, had enough for that and did that. Then I needed an external hard drive with more than 10 gigabytes free which I used my 32 gigabyte flash drive/USB Drive. I would then restart my computer for it to update. It would get to 18% on updating, restart, then say "undoing changes made to your pc". Why is this happening and what's causing it?
