Windows Startup Sometimes Stalls at Black Screen with Blue Window
Starting windows is intermittent; sometimes I have a normal start, and other times it hangs at the screen with the black background, blue window, and the rotating dots. The dots seem to rotate indefinitely.

After some annoying issues with the hard drive running continuously, I made a fresh win10 install using a Media Creation Tool to make a bootable flash drive and make a clean install as described in TenForums tutorials. The new drive appeared to work fine, and I used an image file to install win10 on a second drive.
A few weeks passed while I decided what version of Office to use, determining what app's I needed to purchase again - I was in no hurry.
Before continuing, I decided to verify win10 updates were current; and discovered a number of updates needed to be downloaded and installed. I used settings > update to update.
Downloading and installation started, but not all updates were installed, and I received the following warning:
.......................................
Updates failed There are problems installed some updates, but we'll try again later.
2018-11 Cumulative Update for Win10 Version 1803 for x64, (KB4467702) - error 0x80070020.
..................................... I noticed that there were two v1803 that needed to be installed:
KB4023057 Update for win10 v1803 for x64-based systems
KB4467702 Cum update for win10 v1803 for x64 based systems
..............................................
I decided that the installation order had problems, restarted the computer so (I assumed) 057 was installed, then continued.
Installation seemed to finish without other problems, but I have the "intermittent" issue.
Any suggestions?
