Hm, you've doublechecked that via msconfig did you?

Right now, I'm adding updates manually 5 at a time and checking the result -
I have about 80 waiting, so this is going to take me a while, but somehow I'm
sure that I'm going to find the exact update(s) which kill this app

I'm pretty sure it's the bloat of "security software" running or one
of it's AddOns placed in IE.

I'ld prefer a virus scanner which only scans for malware over these
bloated "suites" released by many of the vendors sadly - that's true
for MS's One Care in my eyes also.
