Problem persists, perhaps even worse than what I saw yesterday: KB Update still won't install, of course, but I just spent a few hours running an ISO in-place update, which also failed. While there was a notification about that, it did nothing other than to take me to the Windows Update module, where I found a failure note, and yet another KB waiting for a restart; that restart, of course did nothing.
I have only had one attempt at an actual install of the update, and that was the first time that I restarted yesterday; computer went into the "don't turn me off, I am working on this," which failed. Now, every time I try again, the machine just totally skips any attempt at installing the update; it simply goes to a normal restart.
MartinDL asked, "How about this? Reset Windows Update in Windows 10 Windows Update Activation Tutorials
would that fix the issue?" I tried that twice, and each time I get "Background Intelligent Transfer Service failed to stop." I could certain stand to receive the transfer of something intelligent. I am going to force a stop after posting this, try the batch file again.
I do have a Macrium Reflect full backup and the accompanying rescue disk. The backup is from Monday of last wee, as this wee's Monday full backup failed twice, and I have not had the to follow the instructions tech support sent me to try to fix this. I don't remember how to run the full backup restore, having only done it one or possibly twice, and definitely in not more than year. I am tempted to do this, but am also hesitant, as I have no guarantee that the time required will actually restore my Windows 10 backup capability: Given what happened during my first attempt yesterday, I suspect that problem arose then, so that restoring to 4December2017 ought to fix matters--but I sure wish I had some way of knowing that in advance, but I don't have a forward-looking time machine machine.

Stopped Background Intelligent Services, ran the batch file, which complained that the service was not running; hit Enter, service started, batch complained that the service did not stop, and quit. Given the amount of time I have spent, to no avail, over the past twenty-two or so hours, I may just quit....
