I have a workaround in that I can d/l the AZW file from my Content and Devices drop down on Amazon and then simply use Calibre to pick it up from where it downloads and then convert to ePub. It is simple and it works. I applaud your efforts but am clueless as to why/where the Updates folder is. Thanks for your help.
Kindle for PC is installed for all users on your system.

It is possible that the updates folder is in the same place as it would be for a single user Kindle for PC installation. Open an explorer window and paste in this location to look for it:

%LocalAppData%\Amazon\Kindle

If that is the right place you will see folders with names like Cache, crashdump, storage, and updates.
