Installation of the Combo, in of itself, did not resolve the issue.

After doing the Power Down recycling process as listed and subsequently initiating 2 x Sleep / Reawakening cycles, results are showing hopeful signs of correcting the issue. ...I'll know definitively after the next 24 - 48 hours.

One followup question now, is whether installing the 10.10.4 Combo over my 10.10.4 Update, in addition to the Power Down process, is working collectively to clear out the corruption, or whether the Power Down process, on its own, resolves the issue? ...I sense it's the latter given joemikeb's experience.

One other question comes to mind... What got corrupted and by what? (Until installing 10.10.4, I had no previous issues with any OS prior to 10.10.4.) ...Any thoughts?
