Update failures and Error codes

So often we only hear and complain about problems. This note is about an issue I had with Updates and error codes. I sent a request for assistance to Microsoft. I received an e-mail answer from a support person. She had me do a few things and send some logs to her. She handed me off to a second level person. He had me perform further actions and requested logs. Responded with further actions and request for logs. A final suggestion was to make some registry changes and download another piece of software and run it. BINGO, an In-Place upgrade and everything has returned to like new. A download and install of 53 updates went without a hitch, and all the little 'funny' things going on with my PC have disappeared. I tell you all this only to say that so often we P&M about Microsoft and never hear the success stories. All this without cost to me and all done via e-mail exchanges. Thanks for listening.
