This was a two part issue:

  1. Windows has recently changed their update security protocols; to which my router required adjusting. New AcitveX protocols were mis-routed at my router. This was adjusted but I still experienced issue after changing my router settings to allow ALL ActiveX; then

  2. SecureLine, for some reason, inteferres with my Win 7 (SP1, 2011 rel.) ability to communicate through port 443; which Windows Support designates as a required open port for updating. This is strange of MSFT, as some ISP’s also block this port for security reasons.

If I updated before installing SecureLine, I was able to maintain update ability. If I installed SecureLine before updating… or before getting past IE10 update, I would get the error out. Im checking to see if I remembered to note the error code. It ended dt0000 (which I know doesn’t help at all.)

Thanks for hanging around and simply watching someone trying to get support. :-*
