To close the loop for the record, my situation had nothing to do with the
windows patches.
For reasons I haven't tracked down yet the emacs package system seems to
have had a bad day.
Emacs has a package system and some repositories for many of the modes and
extensions available.
After M-x list-packages you select packages of interest for installation or
update and life is good. It
seems one of the packages is damaged in the repo or it became corrupted
during/after update. Oddly,
it worked great for a day after package update but then the package system
started adding some download 
package directories to the Info-directory-list which caused the emacs info
mode to find the French versions
before anything else.  I still don't know what triggered the madness but
it's definitely happening during the
package load/init phase and has nothing to do with MS or the recent patches.
