How do I correct the Windows update error 800B0100 & 80073712?

You seem to have another permission problem in the works.
Has you permission problem been solved here?

Permissions.....please help

@Layback Bear

Not quite. Another member (Pyprohly) offered a useful suggestion that I think is only a temporary solution. Copying the Windows\Temp folder to another location to attempt access. It worked. I copied the file to my desktop and was able to access no problem as User. But I believe Windows would prefer the Temp folder be in it's original intended location, and permission issues there remain....

I posted that thread, specifically regarding the permissions issue, in that area of the 7Forum a few days ago for 3 reasons:
1 - permissions issues were discovered while in this thread working with NoelDP on Win Update issue
2 - after some investigation on 7Forum I felt maybe I should also address them in another section
3 - I thought I would solicit additional help as NoelDP was already generously giving me a lot of his time and expertise

@Layback Bear

Thank you for the suggestion. Sincerely. I intended to mention to Noel (highest regard and gratitude for!) I had posted the thread soliciting additional advice regarding the permissions issues, and for exactly the reason He was giving so much of his time helping with the Win Update issues already. I would've informed him of any other advice I would have considered trying, so as to not make his help more complicated or time and effort wasted. So far, I've only moved the Temp folder to the desktop, where it is now accessible in an alien (not native) location, but I haven't changed anything and I still don't believe this any kind of permanent resolution on the permissions situation.

@ NoelDP & @ Layback Bear

Happy Easter!!

My other user is using Avast, and also has/had Windows Defender enabled.

turning both off didn't help - I'm now asking for any history of other AVs installed.

Thanks for the update.

No other AV's have been installed on this Samsung since I reinstalled Windows 7 about 3 weeks ago. Just Avast.

Here is my update (Note: NO improvement or progress with 3 stubborn Windows Updates or access to Windows\Temp in native location after all of the following actions the last 2 days) :

- Ran Windows in Safe Mode. Had full access to Windows\Temp folder (which is not an empty folder as I originally thought)

- Turned off Windows Defender.

- Turned Off Avast.

- Ran Windows in Safe Mode again. tried to copy your Manifests and Packages into Windows\Temp folder\CheckSur Services & Winsxs Folders. Same 5 files in packages would not copy over...even in safe mode. access denied.

- Ran SURT again. Tried Windows Update a few more times. 2 new optional updates installed. 3 same old stubborn updates refused to download and install. (screenshot 2)

- I had started another thread (Sorry for not telling you sooner ) a week ago trying to reduce the burden on you I felt my situation had grown into to. It was strictly about the Permissions and I was hoping to get some additional constructive info or advice I could share with you that might help (best of intentions, sloppy execution). One member may be onto something, but I don't think he got any closer to resolving it. I closed the thread this morning. Here is the link:

Permissions.....please help

- I ran icacls C:\Windows\Temp at ECP in Normal and Safe Mode (screenshot 4).

- I re ran (in Normal and Safe Mode) your earlier suggestion below, which was successful in Safe Mode but not Normal mode (screenshots 1 and 3):

TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\Temp /A /R
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant AdministratorsF) /T
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant Users (CI)(S,WD,AD,X) /T
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant SYSTEMF) /T
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant "CREATOR OWNER"OI)(CI)(IO)(F) /T
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant AdministratorsOI)(CI)(IO)(F) /T
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp /grant SYSTEMOI)(CI)(IO)(F) /T

I think that's about it. 3 stubborn Windows Updates and a couple permission issues (if it's even permissions that are the cause). Again as always......Thank you for you help!!

I have a few screenshots below and uploaded an updated cbs.zip if you'd think there may be anything new/relevant:
