OK, thanks John for your hints, both are new for me, and do not either find them on this machine.
Will check them later on on another case, because this actual case is now already cleared. The report on it will follow soon.

I hate to be the only Conspiracy theorist here, but:
Are we sure this is all not just Microsoft putting a wrench into the works to force us to buy Windows 10?

Yes, you may be on a right direction, but, no one can prove it ...
Already years-years ago, maybe Windows 2000/XP very late times and Windows XP/7 early times some client of mine threw me a joke, that MS probably has put the old OS updates " most far away on their servers' ", as it took several hours to get the updates for the old one, and since then I have been believing on something like that, heh-heh-heh ...
OK, may have nowadays something to do with the hundreds of millions Windows 10's and their very active update/upgrade policies, giving some higher priority or broader bandwidth or whatever for Windows 10 updates, so, the older ones can gladly wait ages for their turn, and then due to that hopefully got forced to be upgraded to Windows 10 ...
P.S. May come back soon with a short analysis of the suggestions mentioned on the previous report post of mine.

Why force to buy ;) Its still possible to install and activate the win 10 download iso with a win7 or 8.1 key.
Yes but the general public probably doesn't know that...

OK, as this thread seems now ready to be closed, here you have my final comments on the hints/solutions and the ratings.
This was my problematic case no 1, for nowadays, on the row of Windows 7 Update problem cases, which seemed now proven to be an enormous swamp, on which I was sloshing around quite a time ...
The case no 2 with it's solution is described on a bottom post in here -> https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28946380/Windows-7-pro-will-not-update-error-code-8007000e.html
And, the next case no 3 is waiting around the corner to be tackled in short, on which I then may open another thread.
So, finally, on this case, I did try several on above post mentioned hints for this, but didn't found any particular direct cure from them, just found some general help and understanding on the problem anyway, and did myself go on with the mentioned rounds until all updates got installed. For the dramatic drop down on the waiting time after the 8 updates', there were not got any exact clear explanation.
The seemingly best hints for some future trials, were suggested by
- magicandre1981/SuperUser KB3161664 win32k.sys, and KB3102810 WUC
- Woody/InfoWorld KB3153199 win32k.sys
- JW Stuart/PageStart KB3153199/KB3161664 win32k
- J Hurst/EE KB949104 WUA, and KB3102810 WUC
so, I'll now judge to divide the points here in EE to J Hurst and andreas, and, myself, ok, no points accepted.
