No, I'm no adventurer when it comes to updates.   Remember the Tylenol
poisonings?  I had a remedy for that.  You buy your Tylenol in advance
and keep it for a few weeks before you use it.  If there are no news
stories about poisoning, then you can use it.      So too with windows
updates. 

But apparently it's willing to try again to put in 24H2, even t hough it
no longer reports failures prior to yesterday.
