Update Saturday morning: I did a normal shutdown from Safe Mode last night, not seeing the reply in this forum (thank you, Nasty7). I figured I'd try using the "windows repair" program from my hard drive in the morning. But, this morning, I decided to try one more time and so I did a normal boot up and it worked perfectly! My regular desktop was back and everything seems to be ok. The restore point had rolled me back to the time immediately prior to the install of the windows update yesterday. Of course, a few minutes after I logged on, that update was back, begging to be installed. I "hid" it and will be careful about uploading any new windows updates until I can research whether or not they are causing problems.
