Windows 10: "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart" stuck at 0%.

My laptop has been stuck at 0% for awhile now. I've been having some problems with my laptop before this so I unfortunately think that this is the end for my laptop. My stop code is: DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL. I think what caused this problem is that I updated my laptop late at night, it took much longer than I expected it to take, left on my laptop as I went to bed, it inevitably turned off on its own and most likely corrupted a file. Anyways, at a situation like this, is it safe to try and turn off/restart/force turn off my laptop? Or will doing so just corrupt even more files? Furthermo

Windows Updates stuck at 0%

Hi all, I started having this issue recently. I ran windows update and all downloads were stuck at 0%. Hence I downloaded the 1903 update manually from the Microsoft website.

After the update was installed, I tried running windows update again. However, all updates are stuck at 0% and refuse to download.

I have tried so many “solutions” from online - restarting the services, deleting softwaredistribution, disabling firewall, etc. , but nothing seems to help. Every time I check for updates, the list of updates comes out and everything is stuck at 0%.

I’m at my wits end now, my internet works just fine and everything else seems to be working fine as well, except for this annoying issue. I do notice that when I start the update, the download folder in softwaredistribution populated with folders and files inside, but it does not grow beyond a few hundred kb.

Please help me!
