Today I finally found a workaround for this problem, which already felt like being around forever. Ironic how this is supposed to be a Quality Rollup... :/
It took its sweet time to finish (around 15 minutes), BUT it did the job.
1.
Download the standalone update from HERE and make sure to pick the right one for you:
Microsoft Update Catalog
2.
To be on the safe side, I suggest you also Take Ownership of the file
3.
You can now start the update with Open and let it do its job. Please be patient.
4.
You will probably be invited to restart the system, please do so. Both shutdown and startup will take longer than usual, for obvious reasons. Again, please be patient.
5. (just an observation)
The annoying Update icon will still popup in the Taskbar, regardless of the update having successfully being installed. Restore the window, Check for Updates, be patient for a last time and you should get your reward: it now sez No important updates available.
6.
DONE!
All together now: Thank you, Microsoft!!
