And what does mpxerr.log says?

Did you check with the update managers (admin and user) if there are
updates? Did you run the package manager, synchronized and checked
if there are uninstall miktex libraries?

(Your example works fine for me, but I have a 32bit miktex installed
in single user mode).

SimSun is a commercial font. Can you try to make an example that
shows the problem with fonts that are available to every one?

Sorry but why do you put a portable version of miktex in 
C:\Program files?

(Imho this can't really work. C:\Program Files is protected, but the
portable miktex writes log-files in its own folder.)

My console has the number 6751 too, that looks ok. The different
parts of miktex can have different numbers.

It works fine for me on two computers. I had only to clean up the

It is unclear what you mean but normally this means that something
blocks the FNDB. Close all miktex related applications (e.g. YAP). 

> All words of wisdom welcomed.

I suggest a long walk and then a tea. When you have cooled down and
remembered that you are using here a free software, look again at
the miktex console and read the howto:
https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-console. 

If you still have problems add an issue to the issue tracker on
github.

This format is clearly too old. 

Try to recreate the formats in the miktex console -- probably user
mode.

that will be resolved in the next update (version 7.00j) which is
already on ctan. For now move settings like pdfauthor=XXX from the
hyperref options to \hypersetup. See also

Try to call dvips with the option -landscaperotate

dvips -landscaperotate file

Newer version of dvips no longer rotate the media box if landscape
is used. (See e.g.
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2021-July/047291.html and the
discussion in the dvips manual)

That means to get a landscape page one must setup the page size
correctly with landscape values but powerdot still relies on the now
deprecated rotation from dvips.

You should show a small but complete example that can be used for a
test. 

And also tell when you updated before so that one has an idea how
much changed with your update.
