I finally got my computer to start up in Safe Mode and
deleted the most recent update, restarted...computer works
well now - My #1 question now is :

How am I supposed to do the Critical Security Update for
my computer if it only locks up my computer and apparently
doesn't work as intended?? Should I even bother with the
newest Critical Security Update seeing as how it only
makes my computer inoperational?
