Try pressing F8 during boot to get to a menu screen and hit Boot to last known good configuration. Once your back up and running try and do the windows update again.

More than likely you have one or more Windows updates that are failing to install, over and over again. I've seen systems like this at work several times, and the usual solution is to try installing the problematic updates manually from the Microsoft website. Sometimes it can require a bit of troubleshooting and researching Technet articles, but I've never had one that was unfixable or required a full reload. -

Switch to linux. Problem solved!
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. -

You can disable this "feature" in the local group policy...just go to gpedit.msc, go to computer config, admin temp, windows components, windows update, select do not adjust default option to install updates.....
set it to enabled -
