Reboot the computer

Then right click the link below ands select save target as... to your desktop

It worked! Great job, thank you for your help, time, and patience!

You now have windows updates again

If so then that will make a fair few people happy

If you are OK now let me know and I will remove my tools

[Lurchhammer]

Yes, everything seems to be working.

One problem is that one of the optional updates was a Windows Security program which conflicted with Avast. I removed the Update Security program, but it still slowed down the boot/start-up time. Should I re-load Avast or is there a remnant registry from the update I can remove?

I think your tools were removed when I clicked 'Clean Up' on OTL?

Thanks Again!

Try a repair of Avast and on the general settings > Troubleshooting select Avast to start after windows services
