Windows 10: Window's 10 update - always frozen around the 90% mark

Hi,

I stopped my windows updates because at one point it started to just freeze at the 90% mark - I would do an over night update and it would be frozen at the same mark 8hr's later. So I would have to shut it down, it would go back to a date before the update occurred and in 2-3 days attempt the same update. My work around was to disable updates through services - this isn't a solution its just a temporary fix to buy time so I am not doing an update and go back every 2-3 days which eat's a lot of my time and can't be good for my system.

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution to this?

For context I am using an HP that I bought at a Costco about 4-5 years ago. While it's old it still runs pretty smoothly aside from these newer updates.
The current version of windows 10 is - 17763.
CPU: i7-6500U intel
GPU: NIVIDA GeForce 940M
RAM: 16GB
1HD: 1.8TB
2HD: 26GB

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

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
