It never finishes. When I go back to the previous version of Windows 10 Pro it starts to work fine again. Should I hold off on 21H1 ?

good to hear that it worked. It took me a day to get over the issue. I tried everything and nothing worked, the dam thing couldn't even get to safe mode. In the end I decided to try the update assistant way and it worked. Good thing I had image backup otherwise I would have gone mad.exactly same issue here. I used the update assistant and it finally worked. sfc /scannow found corrupt files after the installation so better check also
That's why one should have 3 or 4 types OS images in backup. Restore your latest image and you are done and if you have time you can also experiment with various kinds of fixes.This type of Windows Update experience is why I always hold off updating the OS on devices until I can get an idea of how well it is behaving on other peoples machines. It might seem selfish and I'm very aware of the need to patch critical flaws, but MS have a long history of messing up their updates. It might only be a small minority who are affected by the type of situation described in this thread but there is only so much time in every day and devoting that time as an unpaid guinea-pig, messing around with BSODs or similar, is not my preferred way to spend my time.
Yes, exactly this. I always create a fresh macrium system image just before attempting anything with windows updates. When i encountered a problem with this 21H1 update I restored in less than 5 minutes.That's why one should have 3 or 4 types OS images in backup.
