any update on this?

That was sort of funny. I spent all day yesterday doing various repairs, etc., on the computer...and I think my laptop, with somewhat limited results. (I think the entire computer froze, so I just shut it down. (That reminds me: it often stays on the "Shutting down..." screen (after all the closing this and that screens) forever without shutting down.) Then, first thing today, I discovered your new post, so I started doing that. And then, just now, I was about to do my reply, and it said there was a new post, so I'd better check that first!
The Windows Repair...results.doc shows the results of Windows Repair, which I tried to do from Safe Mode when your first Command Prompt took forever in regular mode and then produced errors in Safe Mode. I have attached the CBS.log from todays scan. After I finally finished (gave up) on Windows Repair in Safe Mode, I rebooted, and did the Command Prompt entries (see commandprompt_results.txt.) The last command is still just sitting there.
Oh, and Windows Update is still claiming "Updates were installed: Never" — even though it has a list of all the ones installed over the years! It wants to install Windows 10, and I don't want it to. When I did "Check for updates" this morning, it never finished; I think something else froze, so I rebooted in the meantime. I started a new check as I started this paragraph, and it's still running, so I may get back to you on that one. Before I had 18 to 20 available; I think maybe a few of those installed, but I don't know if more have or not. It claims as it's shutting down to be on 6 of 18 (or wherever for that day) and then goes all night without progressing to the next number. I am going to leave it on Checking.... and go walk my dogs. If I have a result when I return, I'll add another reply.
I'm not sure you will want to read another reply after this extensive one! :)
Julian:
