Updates with MiKTeX 23.10 Fails

[virsto]

I have installed basic-miktex-23.10-x64 without any obvious problems and this gave me MiKTeX Setup Service 5.5 (MiKTex 25.10), MiKTeX Console 4.9. It was strongly suggested that I update my packages (105) and this starts fine but stops at 15% when trying to install miktex-doc At this point the console window is "dead" - it can not be closed or moved.

I took fjrom the log file what I believe to be relevant for understanding and of course fixing this problem:
