Hmmm - it looks almost as if the download failed.
Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command - post the results.
DIR C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\a608878bd782d0ad446d9f486cf0b5a9
Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.
Thanks again for all your help! :)
Here's a dir and a dir /a/s of that folder:

Thanks for going the extra step!
That looks normal to me - the file size is correct, at least, as are the folder and file names.
I don't really know what to recommend, apart from a full reset of WU.
Windows Update - Reset
You bet. Thanks for looking it over!
I'd hate to do a full reset of WU, but it may be necessary.That looks normal to me - the file size is correct, at least, as are the folder and file names.

Windows Update - Reset
The only thing that was unusual, is that when he was downloading/installing the Patch Tuesday updates, he would click the left shift key once every few minutes to keep the screen saver from coming on. At one point, the Sticky Keys notification came up (it comes up when you press the left shift keys a few times), and he dismissed that notification. I can't imagine that would cause a problem... what do you think?
I noticed in the uploaded log files that there were quite a few errors. Searching for 'fail' or 'error' in those logs comes up with plenty of hits. Is that normal?
BTW, what tool/editor did you use to view the logs?
I can't see that causing a problem either.
There's no real drawbacks to a full reset of Windows Update, apart from a lengthy period on the first Check for updates afterwards.
Yes, you lose the Update History, but you still have all updates installed, and listed in the Install Updates listing.
You could have a look in C:\System32\drivers if those SMB .sys files exist
It is rated Important and i doubt Windows Update skip that security update that easily.
Also try as stand-alone installer HERE, it will tell you if it has already been installed.
It doesn't fix the Windows Update prob, though! But worth a try before a reset.
I noticed that the timestamp of the driver is a bit curious.
If I'm converting international date formats correctly, your driver is version 6.1.7601.23115, dated July 1, 2015 at 6:55pm.
The driver on the system showing the problem is version 6.1.7601.18912, dated July 1 2015 at 12:27pm.
I can't imagine that Windows Update only looks at timestamps and ignores version numbers, but given that the dates are identical (albeit with different times), it makes me wonder.
If anyone else can post version info and date/timestamps for mrxsmb.sys, that would be most helpful.
The system with the problem is running Win7 SP1 64-bit. What is the system running from which you generated that screenshot?
