Bug Description
This is a serious bug as it stops all updates even corrections! It also stops logging out as this needs priveldges. The only solution is the power switch! Also, even as a VM, rather than as a native OS, this can mean host shutdown.

This bug showed today on 2 VMs on Win 8.1 and one native OS on another notebook - after I used "software updater". Will this bug allow repair as it prevents updates?
