I have the problem mentioned here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/high-sierra-direct-update-stuck.232947/
But unlike the others on that thread, it happened to me after I installed the Nvidia Web Drivers on my freshly installed macOS High Sierra (yes, clean installation through usb). During the installation of nvidia drivers I've got advised, like others, by gatekeeper that some modifications were being made to the mac. I allowed the nvidia process in System settings and rebooted. After the reboot the loading bar loaded half way and then the spinning circle appeared, but it started overlapping itself until I wasn't able to tell if it was still spinning or not.
Luckily I have my time machine backup and another hard drive with sierra cloned on it, but I still want to fix this.
I also tried booting through the intel integrated GPU (enabled it from the bios and connected an HDMI cable to the mobo) but the problem persisted. So I tried deleting nvidia web drivers through terminal with the commands that were mentioned a few page before. Still had the problem. Now I am completely stuck and don't know what to do. Hopefully these problems with nvidia drivers will be sorted out asap so we can all enjoy High Sierra without wasting time and having headaches. (I wasted an entire afternoon on it )
Thank you in advance,

I'm in the same boat as you. I have installed and removed the Web Drivers twice.
I've tried everything suggested in this thread and still no joy.
High Sierra is running and booting unaccelerated No Problem. Web Drivers break the install everytime.
I've lost about a day troubleshooting to no avail.
Any help or ideas you come up with are appreciated.
