I had been afraid to power cycle the PC in case I could be interrupting
something important or critical.  (I've seen the last two updates have
various steps that were quiet for a LONG time, so I figured this could
have been one of them.)

I put aside my fear and pushed the power button.
This time it booted fine without any interaction.

Thanks for giving me the confidence(blessing).  :-)
Now to try the F38 to F39 upgrade.
Wish me luck.
