Good - I don't see any reason why we shouldn't give WU another try now.
DO a Check for Updates, and attempt to install ONLY the oldest update found -

If it goes in OK, reboot and try the rest
If it fails, post back with the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file.

This appears to be the critical error...

This should have been exposed by both SFC and CheckSUR :s
Please run both again, and post the new CBS folder data.

Interesting CheckSUR there!

It seems happy enough now.

To be honest, looking at the CBS data (SFC is fine), it's a bit of a mess.
There are a number of 'corrupt registry' errors dealing with a number of Packages.
I'm not sure I have the knowledge to puzzle my way through them in any reasonable time, so you may be better off attempting a repair install of Windows, and going on from there.

I'll think on it overnight and get back to you in the morning
