I have a problem with a few programs, being that they won't run, one of
which is the Windows Update Manager "wupdmgr.exe". When I click it, I
get a flicker of an house-glass as my cursor and then nothing. As I
said, this only seems to affect a few of my programs, everything else
seems fine.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Not sure where you are at Lua,but I am in Canada,West Coast,and when I click
on Windows Update,it opens IE but the page is frozen. (10.27 am here)

Your location won't affect the ability of WU to run. Anyhow, when I
click I don't even get IE to open.

What happens if: You bring up IE browser, and select Tools, then Windows Update?

Also, bring up IE and type in this URL address
http://update.microsoft.com

Yes Sir,I was referring to the time this happened to you,to see if there was
a coincidence in the timing of this problem,it looks to me that the Windows
Update site is just refusing to open,at this time anyways.
If your IE does not open ,I would do a reboot and see.

I went to W U site just a few minutes ago and everything works & is normal. Maybe you ran into a temporary glitch.

Both work. My problem is not that I can't get updates, but as I said
earlier, this is affecting a few other programs too.

Aha, IC. I had this problem for a few days, so that theory is blown out
of the window.

Forgot to mention that with the plugin, it's the installation
"setup.exe" that won't run.
