Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned in my initial message I'm having to operate in Safe Mode because the last Windows Update failed and it's at that point my system stopped functioning normally. Therefore, not ALL of the Windows updates have loaded and I can't get them to load because of the noted failure.
According to my list of installed programs I have net framework 4.7, which differs from the version you noted.
I have IE 11 installed. I can not access Internet Settings in Safe Mode.
Thank you.
