Error Code 80073712 while trying to install windows updates
G'day guys. As the title says I've been getting an 80073712 error while trying to install some updates.

Logs:
Attached as well as the C:\Windows\windowsudpate.log file
Additional info:
These files have been turning up in my external hard drive while I try to do the updates. At first I didn't know what they were but after some searching it turned out that they were just where the downloaded updates were stored. May or may not be relevant. Tried doing an update with the hard drive unplugged through the System and Security/Windows Update interface and it still failed.
I also tried to download and install the KB3068708 important update manually from the microsoft website but when I tried to install it it said something along the lines of "Update not applicable to your computer".
