Alright! Thanks @TechyGeeksHome. That fixed my problem! I hope it fixed @Panda's problem as well. Whew!
No more dreaded locked screen.

Follow the above guide and this should help you out.
Can you try this command after you have stopped the service:
ren c:windowssoftwaredistribution sd.old
Try typing it in all lowercase. I had the same issue at first try but when retyped in all lowercase letters it took the command.
So far everything is going smoothly. I have had two small batches of windows updates since my original post and my pc has rebooted correctly both times without any issue or getting "stuck".
Does this solution work on laptops using Windows 8?
Glad to hear that our guide has helped you out.
Yes
I am using Windows 7. My pc stalled on installing update 7 of 19.
When I enter net stop wuauserv it says "Windows Update service was stopped successfully"
I then typed: ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution sd.old
and get the" Access is denied" comment
I have right clicked on the command prompt. The dos box header says 'Administrator command prompt'.
I tried updating my Asus windows 8 laptop but it got stuck at installing update 4 of 18. I can't seem to turn it on! What shoukd I do ???
I too am currently stuck on "update 8 of 21". Thanks for letting me know I am not alone. And thanks TechyGeeksHome for the info – hope it works.

Yes it should work for Windows 8.
What OS are you using? have you stopped the service before trying to rename the softwaredistribution folder? if you have, make sure that it has not re-started.
