After running the MiKTeX update wizard once yesterday it stopped working. The update removed the packages
- garamondx
- miktex-graphics-bin-x64-2.9
- miktex-xdvipdfmx-bin-x64-2.9
and installed the packages
- miktex-bin-x64-2.9
- miktex-epstopdfbin-x64-2.9
- miktex-md5-bin-x64-2.9
The update log says

Whenever I try to start the update wizard I get the following log entries (probably not very helpful):
2017-01-03 11:46:47,057+0100 INFO Update - starting: Update Wizard (MiKTeX 2.9.6200 64-bit)
2017-01-03 11:46:53,127+0100 INFO FileCopyPage -

Updating the FNDB and Installing packages via package manager work as expected.
I’m on Win7 Enterprise SP1.
