    wow... so I guess maybe the 9MB Bing Desktop or something is being applied as a windows update on my AW17.. and I'm at over 1 hour now waiting on this update... starting to think something went wrong.. Any suggestions how I can get out of this without making an even bigger mess?

    And of course that is one he should have NOT installed. Shut it down and do a restore to some date prior you installing that Bing thing. Don't set windows updates to automatic. Always do it manually.
