THIS is the same problem I was having. I had to do a System Restore just to fix the problem and now I may have to do a restore to factory settings just to fix Windows Updates.

Anyone else have anything to say about this?

I thought you said in your own topic that this problem was solved for you now after following the instructions given for a clean install of Avast

It is. But Windows Updates are probably bricked on my laptop now.

Which is why, to resolve that, I'll probably end up doing a restore to factory settings.

I am just saying that this is the update when all of my problems started.

I cant see why further updates wouldn't work, think positive

No need for factory restores either

What if I try to do a future update, it's not an "x64" update, and the problem begins all over again? Start button, taskbar, etc. don't work?

I'd have no alternative I think. I don't know. It seems to me the safest thing to do is to get it done and over with to try to fix my Windows Update problems.

Easiest route to take is to make a system image on an external drive prior to doing the next lot of windows updates and if you run into trouble it's as easy as restoring that image.

Not sure what you mean by "it's not an x64 update"    via windows update you'll only be receiving updates that are for your system so a 32 bit system wont get updates that are for x64 and 64 bit systems receive updates for both 32 and 64 bit components as they run both.
