I was having all of the same problems and followed the suggestion to delete
the Software Distribution folder. Everything seemed to be great until I shut
down and tried to reboot. Now I can't get anything besides a black screen
stating "We apologize for the inconvenience but Windows did not start
successfully. A recent hardware or software change may have caused this" and
asking how I want to start up. And no matter which choice I select (safemode,
normal, last known startup with no problems), it comes back to that black
screen. So now I know I am in trouble! Any experience with this?

Thanks for posting back.
With Windows Update as your default, you will need to check in at Office
Update to keep your Office applications fully patched:

Negative. The hotfix does *NOT* work. Thats the hotfix that Windows sent
me
to after I clicked send error report, I tried that multiple times. What
*DID* work was to reboot my computer in safemode and delete the
SoftwareDistribution folder. (It won't let me in regular mode.) I also
have
not set it up back to Microsoft Update, only Windows Update, but I am
wondering if that will keep me from receiving important updates??

What worked? Did you install the 927891 hotfix? (Yours answers will

With Windows Update as your default, you will not be offered any
updates
for MS Office and will have to install them manually via Office Update

Try deleting the contents of this folder (or the folder itself) &
reboot:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
If no joy, try deleting the contents of this folder (or the folder
itself)
& reboot:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution
NB: Deleting the folder SoftwareDistribution or its contents will
delete
your Update History at WU/MU webpage.
Also see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891
Workaround: Change the default from Microsoft Update to Windows
Update:
Go
to Microsoft Update > Click on Change Settings in left pane > Scroll
to
bottom of page > To Stop Using Microsoft Update > Disable Microsoft
Update
software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

svxhost error 0x745f2780 and generic host proces for win 32 service
errors
have been popping up after restart. I went to debug and send error
report
and it sent me to a window update page to install a fix---but it
didn't
work
and I've done this many times in the past few days.
Also when I go to the microsoft update site check for updates---it
doesn't
stop searching, it used to be very quick at telling me what critical
and
optional updates are available.
I have Windows XP Media center edition on an HP Laptop..
Please advise,
