MS uses "Long Time Pattern" in the expired authcab file as upper-case T shows in code line:
<ExpiryDate>2017-12-03T11:59:25.5067616-08:00</ExpiryDate>
normally for UTC time. My PC is now synced to "time.windows.com" again, as before, WU and MSU are fixed for now with a new authcab file issued December 1, 2017, expiring July 1, 2025 and after I re-installed Silverlight albeit I had updated to the last version earlier.
