Here’s my hypothesis: from a quick websearch, a lot of people are getting error messages from this update (regardless of disk failure), it’s around 3GiB large, and classified as a security update. It’s possible that the system is trying to install it over and over and over, and this is unnecessarily stressing storage devices that would eventually fail anyway.

If my guess is correct there is a higher amount of complains, not just reports, but Microsoft won’t find the cause.

Of course, it’s just a guess - I don’t know if it’s correct.
