Thank you for the reply.
But it's still not clear to me if the first update attempt, where the full list of 167 updates was displayed & I could select which ones I wanted, was the correct process. IOW I could select just 20 if I wanted to.
Versus the second update where no updates where even listed. When the computer was restarted it said 1 of 166, 2 of 166, etc. were being installed. I had no choice & it just installed everything, or at least appeared that was happening. But when all done only 62 updates were on the computer.
I don't know if something went wrong again on the second try because of the "missing" 100 or so updates that did not get installed, even though the system indicated 1 of 166, 2 of 166. etc.
Or did a lot of these not really get installed because some updates superseded earlier ones? IOW instead of installing vers 1, then vers 2, then vers 3, would the system go directly from vers 1 to vers 3 of a particular update if that was appropriate? Sort of like going from IE8 directly to IE11 without installing IE9 or IE 10. Does that make sense?
