Windows 10 "Watchdog Initialisation" booting issues

Hi,
My PC has been throwing up an error involving the "Watchdog initialisation loader", which seems to lock up on the "Phase 3: releasing cfg interfaces" (please see attached file).
Also I do not use AVG as my virus protection programme, I have been using 'Avast' for some considerable years now (I am not sure if you are the same company), all Google help sites point to an AVG process, so i hope that I am in the right place.

The previous 2 actions that I took out upon my computer is updating Windows 10 to the most recent "Creators Edition" via the dedicated installer from Microsoft website & updating the graphics drivers for my Radeon R5 chipset through the dedicated AMD installer, this last action seems to have prompted the issues I am now having.

In terms of system recovery, I have no available restore points
