I had the exact same problem with the wlcomm.exe file and got the same message etc., as you are getting. I finally found a page that helped me to fix my login problems that started after applying the forced update. Mine was the Nvidia problem and when I shut that process down I was able to sign in No Problem.
Messenger Support Space - Windows Live That Page has a few different things to try. I sure hope this helps you out. Extrememly frustrating problem to deal with.

Good Luck
Later

Thanks for that wildbill I will give that a go and let you know how it works out
