Question 1: Where is the control to set the maximum download speed of
the connection (I want to use a "throttled" or "metered" connection to
limit update downloads.) It is not in the Windows Update settings or
advanced settings as some web sites describe.

Question 2: Update seems to take forever. After listing four updates,
including a cumulative one, it took hours to download them. It then
went into "preparing to install," where it is now at 12% after about
four hours.

Question 3:: I looked at the windows error reporting. That was today
3/21/18 at 7:09 PM as shown on the desktop clock.

That could be your problem. The date is incorrect.
There is no 21st month.


The last error
listed says it was 03/21/18 at 7:50 PM. There were several others with
times after the actual time. I know, forecasts G.

I'd appreciate any wisdom from you folks.

Fix the date first.

Thanks, Lucifer, but the date is correct (U.S. standards): March 21,
2018.
