It could be that, when you run Windows Update to scan for updates that use Windows Installer, including Office updates, you may experience a memory leak, or you may receive an error message for the Svchost process.

Not able to try the suggestions on many posts due to this type of failure - never get to the Start menu. What are my options for recovery?
