Unfortunately, Windows 10 update to v.1903 has caused many people trouble. Supposedly MS is working on some fixes. Why they don't test these "updates" before they release them is unknown.

If you had ever written software you would know there is no real test of software in the outside world except when it is actually rolled out there. A test environment is always just exactly that. You do your very best and then cross your fingers.

In my case, the computer won't even update to 1903. It goes through a major series of attempts, which take about an hour or more, and several restarts. Then is gives me the message that the update can't be completed. At least I haven't lost any data (so far), which some people have lost.

Make sure you have a good complete backup, or better yet, an image, which is not connected to your computer. I keep two backups on external HDs, one in a fireproof safe, and another backup in the cloud.
