I did try the GWX first, but that did not solve the issue for me. The only thing that has worked, so far, is the steps I outlined above.
By the way, this is the 2nd day of booting up and the Windows Update Icon is still showing up in the notification area. Hooray!

Are you on Win 7 or Win8, i’m asking you that because the update KB3095649 is for Win 8 . I did what you suggested without installing KB3095649 because i’m on Win7 and my
Windows update icon is still missing. ( I also tried GWX Control Panel).
