Safe mode is just a way to startup windows with the very least running of what it needs. :wink:

Shane,  while not being able to sleep thinking about this problem, it seemed to me that my pc is missing an important something... a driver, software...something.
Did some reading on helpful websites, came up with running the utility sfc /scannow.  It failed would not run.  So, I googled that problem and it led me to "Windows Modules Installer",
which then led me to this:  Error 126: Windows modules Installer cannot be found.  It also said without it you cannot install updates, service packs etc.
See the attachment, their solution.

Messing with the registry is beyond my knowledge.
