How can I fix my computer, that won't shut down since windows update error 0x800f0922 (KB3172729)?

[Windows Central Question]

Windows update tried to install this update around 15 times since August 11th with no success. Other updates get installed properly.
I have seen this may be linked to the anniversary update, and I also have a visible ESP partition (F on my hard drive.
I read some posts about this partition problem, but not linked to a difficulty to shut down the computer. What should I do?

Thanks!

type this in cmd "Shutdown.exe /f /s /t 1"

where f - force terminate process
s - shutdown
/t 1 or -t 1 - time to shutdown 1(sec)

you may also try /r for restart
