The somewhat recent update KB4034674 refuses to fully install on my system. It gets to the point where I need to restart to complete the update, in which case windows goes to the "preparing update"...

With my taskbar startup tab being empty and not existing on my CCleaner startup tab, the "Windows Defender notification Icon" (MSASCuiL.exe) keeps finding a way to add itself to my startup, even...
