Problem installing KB5000842 via WU
Saw this update and decided to run it. All seemed to go ok. I clicked on Restart now and the machine restarted. The update screen came on the and it got to about 30% and then the machine rebooted again. Nothing overly unusual.
In most cases, it would reboot and then resume with the update. Now, however, it did not. It started the reboot but now all I am seeing is a blank black screen (as if the computer is off). Nothing appears to be happening as far as i can tell. I do not see any activity on my hard drive light. But my screen power is lit as if the computer is on. It has been about 15 minutes since this happened.
I guess I could do a hard power off but am afraid to do that. So any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I did the hard shut down as I couldn't wait anymore and got a blue screen that says Windows was repairing something (it didn't say what) and then it rebooted and now it is saying Windows couldn't complete the updates....undoing changes. Now it is restarting again. Now it restarted again. Now it says getting Windows ready and finally rebooted to my log in screen. Damn, when I saw the Repairing screen, I got pretty darn nervous. Never had an issue with WU before today. Now I am getting a message that my computer recovered from a start up failure on W10, ver 1903. That was not fun.
