I'm running the update right now with everything disconnected or disabled, and it's stuck at the second startup. Uninstalling MBAM seems to have gotten it past the first restart, or maybe it was coincidence, but in any case not this one. The system SSD light quit flashing entirely with this second restart and that hasn't changed 10 minutes in, which can't be a good sign. Oh well... Thanks for the suggestions,
The message I started getting around the fourth try about retrieving the system image was (paraphrase) "The OS version of the processor architecture or the Windows Recovery Environment is not the same as the computer it backed up." Would using a USB stick to start Windows that was formatted as FAT32 cause that? I know Windows version on it is x64, because that's the default on an x64 machine when choosing the version of the setup files to download to the flash drive. I can't think of anything else, although I think the stick was formatted as that all the way through.
