    Windows Update Self-update Fail Error 80073712


    I have an Acer Aspire Ethos laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. SP1 is installed according to system properties (came installed).

    Windows update was working fine until maybe June or May of this year.

    I have tried a number of hotfixes, several microsoft fixit (automatic normal and aggressive runs), the sfc /scannow in admin CMD mode, and also uninstalled the last ten or so updates. I have also deleted the contents of the /Downloaded Installation Files/ within C:/Windows but that also did not fix the error.

    Have also tried disabling my antivirus but that did not change anything, windows update will not self-update at all.

    Nothing seems to work. Please help.

    Below see a typical update attempt from the log (repeats almost every other day more or less the same.
