Windows 10 update KB5016616 and KB5017308 hang on reboot after install

I have disabled updates until I can find a fix. I've tried to download the update and install manually but get the same results. Other updates, such as .NET, download and installed fine. Once the machine hangs it has to be rebooted 2 times to get to the automatic roll back. At least that works for now. There is an error in the event log but I think its from the install abort from a forced shutdown. Installation Failure: Windows fa
