Cumulative update constantly failing and constant 100% disk usage

These issues began yesterday 3/13/20. The update, "2020-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4551762)" has failed every time I try to install it with the error code, "0x80071160". When this issue began my disk drive
also went up to 100% with little change. I restarted my pc multiple times but both issues persisted. Could anyone help me, please?

 

Error Message when updating from Win-7 to Won-10

Bree
I followed your suggestions (2nd Aug 19) for installing Win-10. Made the bootable flash drive successfully through the media creation tool. But when I attempted to upgrade and activate to Win-10 (64 bit) from within Win-7 (Pro-32 bit), I got the following error message:

Error # OxC1900101-Ox20017. " The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"

I read the diagnostics under this error number and carried out the proposed fixes, i.e. update Win-7, uninstall Malwarebyte antivirus, disconnect all external hardware, e.g. printer, scanner, external hard drives. I then tried to repeat the steps to do the upgrade through the Win-10 bootable flash drive as before. Got the same error message.
Appreciate any further comments and suggestions as to (a) what does a failure in the SAFE_OS during boot operation mean, (b) what can I do to solve it. Is this anything to do with the hardware in my computer? I listed these in my first posting above.
Thanks for any help

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.
