Lots of reboots and shutdowns with errors which flashed by too quickly to see. □ Mid-afternoon the machine slowed to a crawl and my network settings were inaccessible. Closed WU “never check” until next update session. WHEW! Opened WU again and checked for updates. Ran the update from within Defender and it updated successfully to a much later version than WU had offered me. Opened Defender which I don’t use because I have Kaspersky Internet Security. Installed the Office updates and closed Windows Update. Four Office 2010 updates were there plus the same Defender update. Found complaints of this online with no resolution.
