Error message in December 2020 monthly Windows update.
When I went to update my WIndows 10 HP desktop for the monthly security updates, I got the following message. What should I do to resolve this?

Good call,
when you did the refresh/reset, did you choose to keep personal files and settings or deleted them?

HotCakeXRefreshing means that you keep all your files and it returns the PC to the way it come out of the factory. You keep your files, but have to reinstall most of the programs you installed after you did the initial set up to get to the desktop screen.
Resetting means your hard drive is wiped clean and all your files disappear and you get a bare basic version of windows. Any programs that came with your computer are removed.
