>>It is actually was worse than that. Usually I don't check the updates, when it tells me it wants to install new ones, I let it install. So, it now installed this stupid Bing desktop and I will have to fingure out how to uninstall it. But moreover, that second update failed with an error and still wanted a new re-start. I re-started and then it simply was sitting on the 'Don't turn your computer' screen. I waited about 15 minutes, from my husband laptop (and under his account) posted a message in Windows forums, finally decided to re-start. So, after re-start it again went to the same screen and I was really scared that it will end up with the same problem, but eventually it did come up.

Thanks, I got rid of it and told MS to not install something I didn't want in the first place.
