More complications. I was still “hit or miss” on my Dell machine and when I did a search on the system drive I found three copies of ehtray.exe. Two of them were in the winsxs/ folder with a very long folder name. But one of them was dated 2009 and the other dated 2010 which matched the one in ehome.

Throwing caution to the wind, I went through the dance to take ownership of the folder with the 2009 ehtray.exe and copied it to a backup folder and then deleted it from the winsxs/ folder.

Waiting results from the lab now. (After that operation I went through the stop process and then run as administrator from the ehome directory.) I’m just wondering if “sometimes” the 2009 copy got accessed or the fact there were two in the winsxs folder caused trouble or?

Time will tell…….

After stopping the ehtray.exe service and restarting as administrator and waiting for the next automatic update the notification pop-up appeared. It remains to be seen if this will work after a reboot.
