I tried the fix in the link you shared, and now I'm able to update easily. Thank you! All is fixed!

Oooh, maybe. I swapped in an SSD earlier this year. Can't remember what brand, but it might be Liteon. I'll try the fix listed that post and report back. Thank you for sharing!

This thread appears similar to the symptom - did you ever use a Liteon SSD ?
