I just went through an update 'inferno' :( Since early November, I was trying now and then to update (and always getting a SSL error message). I had asked to some advice here, but nope. Today, unfortunately, 'It did work', better said, it finally connected to an 'up to date server', uninstalled all those miktex-* deprecated packages. Updated a few more. And, after that, everything, everything stopped working. The 'latex compiler' was 'still working' but most of packages were broke. The Admin tools (setting, package manager, update) won't even restart after the update (windows were complaining about the binary, and configuration). I even tried to uninstall it (control panel) and it refuses to... So, now I'm just contemplating the idea of deleting the miktex folder, and start looking for something that work.

The page https://miktex.org/alert/package-refactoring-2016-11 opens but is blank. So what is the current status? Can I run the updater now and it will take care of things correctly? Do I still need to make some manual adjustments? If so, where can I get the information?
