Very informative, thank you Ed. Saved for reference.

Hi everyone. After much travails, I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of this. Having followed your varied advice, I was getting this message on occasion: It would get to this point, indicating that security updates would be downloaded, but it would never progress past this to actually...

Latest in this sorry saga: having done an in-place repair install of Windows and reset Updates and Security Policy, I found that the three profiles that are not me (wife, daughter, daughter) had mysteriously disappeared. Their folders are still on C:, but Windows don’t know about them. Ah michty...
