Another question: is it mandatory in LyX to run "reconfigure" after
updating MikTeX? Updates sometimes cause obsolete packages to be removed
and replaced. Could LyX detect this and suggest running "reconfigure"?


Only if packages are removed by the MiKTeX update you might reconfigure 
LyX. Otherwise it is not necessary. It is however mandatory after you 
used the MiKTeX package manager to install new packages. Otherwise LyX 
won't be aware of them.


Note that if you update LyX e.g. from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 or if you install 
the same LyX version over an existing one to repair things, the Windows 
installer of LyX will automatically reconfigure LyX twice.

I have issues with packages with Lyx 2.2 on Windows 10. I have updated packages

Dear Guillermo,

as I wrote in my announcement of version 3 of the Windows installer:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg104595.html

, MiKTeX made some major refactoring of its package handling. Many users 
therefore encountered problems. Form most it helped, to run the MiKTeX 
update program twice, but not for all. before spending hours with 
fiddling around I therefore recommended, to uninstall MiKTeX and LyX 
_completely_ and reinstalling LyX using the latest "complete" Windows 
installer for LyX 2.2.2. This assures that you have a fully functional 
LyX and MiKTeX.


If this fails, please report back that I can have a closer look.

regards Uwe
