Windows 10: Windows updates fail and can't reboot without disabling signature enforcement

Months ago I just came home to find my HP laptop model 15-da0041dx with Intel Core i7 8th gen and Windows 10 in an infinite start-up repair loop. After playing around with it I finally got it to start up again by turning off the Driver Signature Enforcement, after which it said that a windows update had failed. So far I've just been living with it-- keeping my computer on and every time windows tries to update and fails, I just go through the whole F8 and turn off signature enforcement process-- but I worry my computer performance will degrade if it goes on for too long. I've tried searching

Disabling driver signature enforcement

Hi Fabio,

Driver Signature Enforcement is one of the security features that we make to make sure that only signed drivers can load on your system. Note that disabling driver signature enforcement will install drivers that weren’t officially signed. Install only the
drivers you trust. Follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Update & security >
  Recovery > Advanced startup > Restart now.
• Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options >
  Startup Settings > Restart > F7 or 7.

Once it restarts, you may now install any third party drivers. Note that the next time you device restarts, driver signature enforcement will be enabled again.
