After many hours lost, going through google's loops and hoops, finally found light in several posts, including the present blessed website and this guy's explanation in some of his posts (THANK YOU SO MUCH)

Latest update (and obviously several before) could not be installed because of a driver missing!!!!
Which was exactly a Microsoft driver that I wanted to avoid, and I was afraid of update -in-place.
WTF Microsoft!!! Get your sit together@!!!
After deleting the bloody thing manually, rendered all subsequent CU uninstallable!!!
I, THE PAYING CUSTOMER, NEED TO CHOOSE MY SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS MYSELF!!!
And why on earth, you are losing time and resources on updating totally useless bells and whiastles, instead of building a
SIMPLE AND HUMAN READABLE LOG FILE FOR THE FREAKING UPDATES!!!
All info is there, available and damn easy to do !!!
How many users (and PAYING CUSTOMERS) have being forced in in-place-upgrades and OS-reinstalls for BS reasons?
BTW: this
