Solved Problems with installing 2 updates

[Scotty92627]

Greetings!

This is my first post ever to any forum so I hope this turns out right :huh:

I have a buddy who had a stroke a few years back, so I built him a computer to keep him attached to the outside world. It is a Intel 4 core desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1, using MS Security Essentials and Windows Firewall.

Computer has been running Windows auto Update fine for several years.

Recently 2 (and only 2) updates have consistently been failing: KB2839229 and KB2836502. All other updates continue to auto update fine.

Here are my troubleshooting steps (I tested Update after every step): re-ran Update several times, ran MS Fix-It for Update (said problems were fixed), Ran a disk check (no errors found), ran a full virus scan with Security Essentials (nothing found), Ran Malwarebytes full scan (Trojan found: HMO, cleaned), re-ran Malwarebytes full scan (clean), re-ran MS Fix-It for Update (again said problems were fixed), Downloaded and installed both updates manually (both failed), ran System Update Readiness Tool (said problems fixed), ran Windows Update Diagnostics, got errors (see jpg)...

I have included CBS logs if that helps.

Thanks in advance! Any help would be most appreciated on my next steps...

Hi Scott,

Based on one of those screencapture images, please try the following:

1. Click Start

2. In the search box, type cmd
3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

Report the output from the command window once it finishes.

Great help Guys!

Thanks Golden, I re-ran the file system checker as you requested, and it again came up clean.

Thanks Tom, I pasted the files and re-ran SURT, and have attached the log file you requested...

 

[Scotty92627]

All fixed guys! I was able to manually download the two updates and they installed perfectly.

Thank you so much for your quick responses and helpful solution!

Kind Regards!
