Problem with SURT hanging when downloading (KB947821)

Looking down this list of current update failures,

one might be excused for thinking Microsoft has a serious problem which started a couple of days back.

I have spent the last two days trying to re- install failed up dates.

About twelve in all and only relative to two error codes (800F08260) for most of them, then an odd

two with (80070490). First I tried finding a restore point prior to everything going wrong. Windows was

less than appreciative of that and the restore failed. I tried updating single updates manually but no go,

they still failed. Two days back I put in new antivirus and firewall and I wondered if that was the problem,

so I disabled and went back to Defender and Windows firewall. Nope, that made no difference.

So I logged on here, took note of "Windows update posting instructions"

and worked my way down to the SURT program. I attempted to install the version for Win 7 64 bit

and initially it looked good and was installing (9KB947821) (which I was surprised to see was a Hot Fix? )

when it hung. I left it for a while but it just was stuck there, so I killed it with task manager and

downloaded a new version then installed it. It also reached the same point then hung.

If I go look at the update history it shows a failure for (KB947821) but then a success!

I suppose I should think myself lucky but, what I would like to know is, If I instigate Windows Updates

now. will they all work? In other words, was that hot fix the thing needed to get my system out of this

deepening pit it was/is in? Does Microsoft have a problem, or do I have a problem?

For everyone's info, the re-run of ten windows updates, failed when 35% into the re-boot.

This has started me thinking about alternative OS solutions.

OK, I am working on it but, in the meantime I have realised the two errors I got, one was caused by the other, from references MS are making. The important one being 80070490.

I have found the upgrade option discussed but unfortunately my system is too new to do that. I have also found a guy in the USA who says I have over 2500 errors in my files and he will fix it for $29.95 . Too much for an old pensioner.

I am now doing what I did with the 800F0826 error, with the 80070490 error. If that fails I will do the download.

Yes, this is another day here in Oz, the scam was very evident from the garbage that accompanied it. No way would I go down that path. My further attempts with the KB947821 hot fix made no difference.
I am about to try your paperclip attachment instructions. The file is in Alzip, I hope this is OK.
It uploaded I know not where.

Just to add, my system is Win 7 64bit on a 500gb HDD. I run dual boot with Win 7 32bit on a 1TB HDD,
I don't have the second drive connected at the moment but, it gives me the option of a full disc image copy if needed.
