Windows update fails for IE10 on Win7 error code 9C59

the copy/paste problem is common - which is one reason why I tend to prefer just collecting the CBS.log file on its own.
Copy the C:\Windows\logs\CBS\CBS.log file to your desktop, and compress it, then upload that.

Thanks - unfortunately, there's nothing very revealing in it.
The SFC results are clear, but the system did a large amount of tidying-up along the way.

The CheckSUR results are typical for a system with IE10 installed

Are you certain that IE10 is not installed? what happens if you check the version? - click on the cog-wheel in IE, and select About Internet Explorer. What do you see?

Please post your C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file

It looks to me like there's corruption of the SoftwareDistribution folder.


the problem with that the conventional cure can lead to problems later on, if not handled properly, and you will lose your Update history (but the updates will still be installed, and viewable in the Installed Updates listing).

Open an Elevated Command Prompt
Run the following commands

NET STOP WUAUSERV
REN C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
NET START WUAUSERV

wait 15 minutes, and reboot
then wait 10 minutes, and open Windows Updates, and run a Check for Updates.

Install only the oldest update found - and reboot once installed
then go back to Windows updates and install the others.

Error Code 5 is usually Access Denied - but in this case, I have not idea what it means.

Please post your C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log file, and then attempt a System Restore back to around the 7th May - then run SFC again and post the new CBS.log

Hmmm - from the looks of it, the critical update failed first on 16th April....
let's wait and see what the current SR has to say to help
Please check and see if there are points going back as far as the beginning of April, and let me know.
