Hi @Honeymatt! I know how you feel. Here is what @MrRobot suggested I do.
Try performing a system restore on your PC and then try running the windows update again.
Refer this article https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03327545 to know how to perform a system restore on your PC.
Most probably the issue occurred because the Windows Update failed to download/install correctly.
It may be due to some 3rd party interference or just because of faulty/buggy update from Microsoft - happens occasionally.
1. Please, shut down the computer using the power button
2. Power it on.
3. Keep tapping the F2 key on your PC system diagnostics screen would open.
3. Perform System Test >> Quick test.
Hope this helps.

The restore is to get your system back to a point before the issue occurred with the update. It is intended to help with retaining your data. However, the article tells you to not turn your computer off if the update does not complete during the restore. @MrRobot may be able to assist better with this, as he provided me with the information and got me back running.

I'm having the same problem as shown above. I've ran the system test and everything passed then I tried the system recovery and when I restarted my computer it keeps trying to pdate and then I get the fatal error code again after it gets to 96%. And suggestions?

Hi @Yahudah. I was instructed by @MrRobot to run the recovery first and to make sure you don't turn your PC off if the update is not 100% successful. If update is complete, then run the system diagnostics for the quick test. I hope this helps.
