updating again ? I hope not. Respond please.

Have you tried disconnecting your system from the Internet, and then booting
up in safe mode and restoring before the latest updates? If you can get to
this point, then make sure you turn off any AV programs running before you
reconnect to the Internet and doing your updates.

Hello, Juan. Don't know why my last sentence was omitted. It said safe
mode Without internet connection. Without the connection, there is no
way for updating. Now, you are in Safe Mode. Open Control Panel> ( left
panel), click Classic View > click Windows Update > (left panel) click
Change Settings > look for the box that says " check for updates but let
me choose whether to download and install them ", check that box> click
OK. What you are doing is to give yourself a choice to update or not.
It's not automatic anymore. That done, in the Safe mode , do a system
restore choosing the date BEFORE all that troubles started as your
restore point.( If you don't know how to do that, let us know.) Now go
back to normal mode. You have a decision to make. You can UN-check that
box I told you, and let the windows update get started. If it starts and
finishes normally, that's it! If you are back to square one, then repeat
the procedures except that when you're back to normal mode, disable your
antivirus program, then let your updates get started. When updating is
done, Enable the antivirus program. If you still encounter problems, you
need someone a lot more knowledgeable than me. Keep me updated.

Hello, Juan. I'm happy it works out for you. However, some loose ends.
For my own sake only, did the windows updates get started without giving
you any more problems, or do you have to do manual update ? Did you have
to involve disabling anti-virus program? Please respond.
