    It is mostly a hardware issue. You need to roll back to previous version.

    Here's the core issue: the error KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED means a core system process (a driver) threw an error that Windows couldn't catch . Because this happens specifically during the download phase of the update, it points to something interfering with the network stack or storage process as the new build files are being written.
