Glen,
Granted you state it freezes, but your Windows Update log should have a big clue as to where it *froze* or had a problem.
Kindly get an extract out of it, copy & paste back here in a reply. Just for the last 2 sessions or so.

Give the process at Windows (MIcrosoft) Update a number of minutes before you decide it froze. As in 5 to 8 minutes or so.
As long as the Green bars are moving on screen, it is likely still working.

Another tip: for the time being, please just select Express option (until after your current problem is cured).

Additional information...

When I did a wipe of the computer last night, my automatice
installation did run for critical updates. I just can not do a manual
update. I know there are custom updates I need to run, but can't.

Here is what did not run last night.
