Update for Windows Security Platform - broke my computer

Hello all.

I went to apply the following update to my computer: 

Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 10.0.29573.1002)

Upon restart I could no longer use the start menu. When I would click on it, the menu would come on the screen and disappear in two seconds. Any attempt to click on the User or the Power Icon would do nothing. 

I tried rebooting using the command prompt and it was still broken after the reboot. Tried using DSIM and it kept getting stuck at 62.3 %.  Finally just restored from backup and everything worked again. 

I know it's an important update, but if the computer is useless afterwards - what's the point?

 

Anybody else experience this and how did you resolve it?
