Thanks David,

I was getting a bit worried.
Paul knows my history pretty well *L*

So you report symptoms (windows indicating a
percentage of something done) and yet there
is no entry in the Windows Update corresponding
to the failure ?

I know, I noticed that too. I wish there was
a way of taking a screenshot when it's doing
things and says do not turn the computer off.

I forgot to tell you that when booting up
it had stopped at the Windows Boot Manager
and required me to hit enter.

Then just now the desktop came up OK but the
icons were white for approx 30 seconds before
filling.

I have delays like that too sometimes.

I can have an OS here, where it takes
a minute to a minute and a half before
the networking stack starts running.

Sometimes this is related to a .NET update
and the Windows Firewall is written in .NET.
NGEN has to run and compile assemblies or some
sort of story like that, before the networking
stack can run. The networking status doesn't
go green, until Microsoft contacts a simple web
server of theirs, one that returns very little data
and the returned packet proves that networking
is operational. The firewall seems to block that.

FWIW, Robert, I've had reasonable success in taking a photograph of my
computer screen with my camera and, in more recent times, with my iPhone
camera.

Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/KL6LIqq.jpg

So simple you may have overlooked this possibility! ;-)

I was just checking to make sure that something
wasn't amiss. You know my history better than anyone.

Robert, I/we have no idea of who or what you are responding to, since it's
never in here. Isn't there a way in your newsreader client to reply to the
message and retain their content? There should be some way to do that, but
I'm not sure what newsreader client you are using, and maybe somebody else
can chip in here with some suggestions.

That makes two of us.

I do not use a newsreader

If you are referring to my posting on
here I have been coming here for years.
I just changed my nickname is all.

Otherwise I have no idea what your
complaint is about?
