We all have seen a Windows 10 update screen where it tells you it's updating and not to turn off your computer.
Yesterday, I was at a location tutoring, and just as I got ready to leave to go home, my laptop began a Windows update and, as usual, it told me not to turn off my computer. Problem was, I couldn't stay where I was. Hmmmm. So I packed up my computer and figured I might be contacting a computer technician to "fix" things. This morning I turned the laptop on and it said it was going back to my "previous" version of Windows, took about ten minutes to finish update and installation, and is fine.
Maybe I was just lucky...and I was just glad it wasn't my main desktop computer.
I'm pretty sure Windows has in place the means to prevent any issues if an update is stopped midstream, this is going to happen to a lot of people just because of power failures. It only needs to make a copy of the files it is replacing/updating, e.g. system restore. When an update starts it could set a flag and then unset it when the update is complete, if that flag is present when windows boots instead of loading the OS it would restore it.
