Windows 10 1703 Creators Update - Steam client Bootstrapper has stopped working

I had this problem on Friday, checked the disk, scanned the system. Unable to find a cause.

Did a Microsoft system reset and told it to keep nothing. Back to factory 1703. Reset up eveything. System worked for one day. Now today Steam starts again with the same error.

"Steam client Bootstrapper has stopped working"

Tried compatibility modes - No change.

Tried disabling Microsoft AV protections, Microsoft Firewall, Microsoft app protection - No change.

Microsoft has a really serious problem on their hands. Windows is preparing to install 1709 at %45. Will advise.

This is a VERY simple machine GTX 1080, ASUS Z87 Killer Mobo, and thats pretty much it. Has an old 80GB SSD as a secondary and 2TB HDD as primary.

Would appreciate any and all suggestions.
