In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I haven't used Windows Update for at least a year until this problem came up.

Nor did I have any of the "problem" updates listed in that thread you posted, which include:
KB 2843638

As for System Restore, that's one of the FIRST things I disable on any new PC. ;>
In general, I'd rather find the problem and fix/remove it than blindly restore back (which causes its own problems)!

Thanks for trying to help, Unch!

I wonder what would happen if I just removed ALL of the Windows updates and then tried. ha.

or in your case it could be the lack of updates of which is needed to fix some issues in programs, (Example would be framework .net and such)
