Ok.  KB3020369 wasn't installed. It was hidden.  I restored it and then  I checked for Updates.

Nothing came up. I then used your link and installed it.

Went back to KB3172605 and that installed.

Nice work and Thank you very much

Disconnect from the internet is the easiest way to manually install an update.

That essentially means download the update to your downloads folder and run it from there after disconnecting from th internet.

Answer 4

First time dealing with the catalog is sort of a pain,

Takes a little fiddling to get it to install the wretched 2 internet explorer browser add-ons :)

If one runs internet explorer as administrator the add-ons install quickly for some odd reason

Mostly because the add-ons do not have a digitally signed security signature or it can't be verified :)
