Anyone hit by WannaCrypt?

[Leon Goldstein]

I have win 10 on one computer; it came with it.  The only use I have for 
it is running my income tax program.  I also use it occasionally to 
write using Word Perfect, which can still run in SuSE and 32-bit Mint.  
But it can't print (since glibc 3.2.3)

I keep getting notices of failed updates.  It downloads and reports 
failure to install.  The web is full of reports of this and lots of 
suggested solutions, none of which work.

One proposed solution is to disable all updates.  I suspect this is what 
system operators are doing and why the various worms and malware are 
getting in.
