I'm trying out the update now, the mpm that launches from the console looks identical to the one I'm used to accessing from the miktex folder in my start menu - hopefully it will be updating different packages though. The issue I'm most intrigued by concerning my out of date miktex, is that I rebuilt windows and installed miktex from a fresh download less than a year ago. I guess some of it's base packages aren't being updated and overall, I haven't been updating my system properly.

So I couldn't get the user updater to complete without errors. It was complaining about some fontconfig stuff in appdata. Having read through many of your other posts I decided to stop using the automatic local installation of on the fly installations. So I deleted the appdata miktex folder, changed the setting, and manually installed the packages as they were prompted. This seems to have worked in letting mk4ht compile, but I'm still characterizing the performance to check for successful compilation of more complex examples.
