2017.07.25UPDATED: Persnickety Update

After both the May and June cumulative updates failed to install, the laptop found something about the July update it liked, and now the laptop is up-to-date.

I'm so happy this case is closed. The laptop is back home where it belongs, with a whole lot more RAM and, more importantly, it's not trying to choke down a GIG worth of data anymore every time the laptop boots.

I confessed to the HP support people that I was shopping around for somebody to reload the whole laptop and do all the updates — what I found was expensive: $120 to $150 for a complete reinstall with all of the updates. Had the price been more reasonable, I might have jumped on it — I'm glad now that I didn't.
