I just de-installed the .Net update and all is working ok now.
IMHO this is a drastic step, but this is also a dev box so not so drastic.
If this had been a production server I would have not been to happy to a)
find un tested updates installed and b) broken systems.

It will be re-installed when a clear cut work around or fix is documented.
