Windows 10: Updating to Windows 10 1903 - Update stop at blue screen with Applying Windows Update 0% etc

Updating Win 10 Prof 1809 to 1903 on laptop with limited disk space so using USB drive with info created by the Media Creation Tool. Goes all the way through (Downloading, Updates etc) until get to blue "Applying Updates 0%, This might take some time, PC might reboot several times" screen where it sticks. Left it overnight, when came down this morning had reverted back to to 1809 with NO error code or message.


This second time tried with same result. Recreated USB information for second go.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
