Solution:

1. Right click the START BUTTON (or any empty space on the task bar) and select PROPERTIES
2. Click the TASKBAR tab
3. Click the CUSTOMIZE button for the Notification Area
4. At the VERY bottom of the window, click on the ALWAYS SHOW ALL ICONS AND NOTIFICATIONS IN THE TASK BAR
5. Try your Windows Updates again.  Note that I did not have reboot, log off or even restart services
