@ hbuhrmester (whom once again I 'ENDLESSLY THANK' for taking time and space), tried it logging on as other user, got much further than previously before it crashed out. Soooo, as the MS reinstall gods demanded a re-image (srsly, if people have never taken advantage of this type of imaging tool to reinstall it would be such a tech shame) which led to being able to use WSUS Offline crash-free and ensuring the continuing spinning safety of our planet earth!!!
@ aker (whom I will 'Thank' for suggesting another possibility), I did happen to check that and it was running in x64. I believe it was just 'THAT' time to re-install Windows again, again again and again.......
