Windows 7 Ult 64 bit trapped by BSD and can not get out.
FreeCat:
OK, Boggin, W7 booted up with no problem - it took longer than usual - prolly due to updates being installed. But, got desktop back with going to last know config.
Based on what you said I started Windows Update again for the additional updates. First time, stopped after 30 seconds with "could not continue."
But, there was a try-again button and I pressed it and it has been searching for almost 5 minutes os far. This seems good, I think.
The "P" is for pending.
I reviewed what you said about clock and I can not see where system determined something was =wrong with the clock.
OK, update has found updates - 2 important re security and many others.
But of the many others, I am only checking Dell display and two for .NET stuff as I use .NET --- not selecting any of the others unless you tell me to do so.
See below.
And, thanks VERY MUCH, again, Boggin for your help.

One more thing Boggin: I notice install and update for MS Security Essentials after the reboot. I believe that Satchfan told me to delete all of this when I was working with her --- and I did.
So, should I install/update this now?
Boggin:
About the clock - it was in the pic you attached about the findr cmd failing to find the path.
I'd install all of those except for the language packs for now - I've never seen those updates before on my Win 7.
You can install those later if you want.
How long is since this machine last had updates in relation to you installing Ultimate ?
I think the AMD one may be what AMD have released to counter Meltdown and the Spectre vulnerabilities.
Just seen your last post - it may be there is MSE residue left on the machine - how did you uninstall MSE and what antivirus do have installed now ?
Download and run the MSE Uninstaller which should get rid of any MSE residue.

Boggin:
I'm going to shoot off for a couple of hours as I haven't had my evening meal yet and it's turned 7;30pm here in the UK.

CLOCK: That was about printing the time before and after the command that id not work (so you could see the time.
OK, so you are saying that MS Security Essentials is not essential and never be installed? I used Programs and Features to uninstall last time.
Essential or important updates were always installed until the BSOD problem when I began this case last Summer.
I have none except some kind of Malware Bytes thing that Satchan told me to use and is now expired. Some part of it is still working. but, I do not like Malware Bytes. Very annoying.
I like Avast or eMini (sp?) but Satchafan siad to wait until done before installing any AV program.
Update still cranking.
