2) The Event Viewer for 'system' with errors (x 3 - about the time v2.8.7 ran) (via Control Panel) is copy pasted here:-

I am not techie enough to decipher that and hope it helps you to fix it! I would say why fix version 2.8.5 when it worked OK, but I hear you say 'to make it better'!
Hoping to get to the better of this glitch soon.
