First, get a backup. Complete and current. Preserve your data, on the off chance this is a corruption or a hardware problem.

Try booting into Safe Mode, and see if the update (minor charges) or upgrade (big changes) works.

Then... remove any add-on anti-malware or anti-virus, add-on cleaners, add-on VPN clients, add-on firewalls, etc., and try again.
