You are not being clear. What are you seeing? Please give contents of any
error message. Simply telling us you see wupdater.exe on shutdown doesn't
help.

As to the taskbar, is this a permanent issue or are you only unable to
access it for a brief time after you boot after which you then have no
problem with it?
