Installed the flash drive and did all the additional updates. Still having issues with it taking time to look up a part, the Global version is definitely quicker.
Installed new baseline Monday 8/9. Monday night it loaded a bunch of updates, but left 2 behind. I thought it would have loaded them last night 8/10, I looked today and there still there. I don't know what they fixed in this update, but it looks like they failed again.
After installing the August update, two of my computers updated just fine and are operable again on the Local parts catalog. I'll update the third one in a couple days.
