Pondus, I just don't do Windows updates anymore. I can't stand the problems they cause when I reboot my computer. It was a Windows update that really messed my computer up in the first place. I still haven't gotten everything reset to before the last update I did.
MikeBCda, if the first thing tech agents tell me to do is reboot, then I find anything they say suspect. Rebooting does not fix problems with their specific software. All rebooting does, for me anyway, is clear the memory. (I'd love to be able to clear my memory right now, but with my reboot phobia, I can't.) A fresh load of Windows won't do me any good when the Windows I have loaded right now is wonky. If Windows is wonky when I shut it down, Windows will be wonky when I reboot.
