Just wanted to say, I'm glad you got it back working! Man, it must've been a hassle for a long time trying to figure out this problem, lol. I've been watching this topic for a long time, to see your progress on getting it working, and I'm pretty thankful it ended with a good end for you.

It used to be like that a few years ago, on my low powered netbook I would leave it scanning overnight, and sometimes it hadn't even found the updates then! IIRC it was something to do with too many previous Internet Explorer updates clogging the system (or something like that). At least you did eventually get the updates, and I do remember them taking a while when I first installed and updated Office 2010, so I don't think this is unusual. You just have to be patient and be glad you only have to do it once! It's probably still quicker than identifying all the updates and then downloading them from the catalogue and installing them all manually!

They're 95% identical. I use Humming Owl's notes for hard-coding all but default search engines. I do not hard-code them because I provide preset settings that have the default search engines deleted. They only "return" if you try to import previous settings to a new download and you don't import the correct "combination" of files. Or you get a little trigger-happy and delete too many files out of the profile directory. If the default search engines return, just simply delete them again but it would be helpful if you can track down the root cause. I've never witnessed the default search engines "returning" but a few users have and "profile-mangling" seems to have been involved, difficult to isolate - I plan on creating an export/import tool eventually to alleviate. I make several GUI changes to fix several css issues that Humming Owl does not address. ie, Advanced -> Content Settings -> any of the Manage Exceptions pages and the underlying page will shift up, this does not happen in my versions. Humming Owl's still has a "nag screen" that will pop up only once but I do not recall what "triggers" the "nag screen". Just hit the ESC key if you see a "nag screen" - I think it is when you go to create your first bookmark, don't recall. Mine also does not have a "nag screen" when you close the last tab. Unsure if this is once-only or every time in Humming Owl's releases (I only know that I want to throw a shoe at the computer when I see it, lol). My versions are "portable" and do not write registry strings to the Windows Registry. Humming Owl's do write to the Windows Registry.

Happened on Chrome 49 too. Started happening yesterday. Couldn't use Google properly until I spoofed it as Chrome 58 (OS version doesn't matter in this case), which fixed the issue. But, the problem is more worse with Chrome 49. You input something (of course new, not used, since inputting something used recently will open the search results straight immediately) to search for in the address bar (while being at the New Tab page), it opens google.com instead of the search results. But, if you spoof it to Chrome 58 (while still being at New Tab page), and input something to search for in the address bar (used or new, doesn't matter), then it opens the search results straight immediately.

Many thanks!

Done. You all should review the posts here and in the original thread for continuity and edit if necessary.

Also seeing this on Firefox 52.9.0esr; spoofing FF 68.7 on Win7 as the User Agent seems to fix it, for now.
