Did you try calling the Windows Update support people? If not, why assume that what they will tell you is to restore. The solution is for you to make the telephone call and find out what they have to say. If you don't like the answer, then you can do as I suggested to "Casual User" and make your own new post and include all the details about YOUR system.
