[Crosspost to Windows Update newsgroup]

And how have you determined that a "recent update" has caused this behavior?

What "recent updates" have you installed? Does uninstalling one or more of
them via Add/Remove Programs resolve the problem?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?
