    Thanks for the differring W7 solutions offered.

    I now get "no new updates" after checking for new updates, but the unchecked 3rd option to check for MS updates has gone.

    Tried restoring back as far as a point on 28/11/2017, but it will not do a system restore at all ?

    Any ideas - or just wait for an MS patch  ?

    Hey Retired-Telco,

    Similar here, but I did not even power off.

    In Change Settings select "Never Check for Updates".

    Click OK.

    Go back to Change Settings and select "Install updates Automatically".

    Verify other setting are all as required, including Microsoft Update.

    Click OK.

    Bingo!

    Silverlight is not involved in the MS Update feature, but it turns on MS checking (compared to just Windows) via its installer.

    You can enable MS Update checking via a VBS script per the steps at https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/danbuche/2010/01/06/enabling-and-disabling-microsoft-update-in-windows-7-via-script/ if you don't want to add Silverlight or need to do it a lot (like on clean installs).
