Well, if you stuck in the endless installation loop then we would advise you to wait for at least an hour. Unfortunately, some users are also getting error messages while trying to install the updates. Moreover, the update is also causing blue and black death screens.

System crashes, unresponsive file explorer, printing problems, and audio issues are some of the troubles that the update is causing post-installation. Luckily, the aforementioned issues are not wide-spread and only some users are facing them.
