My desktop PC, Windows 7 64 bit. My current security updates will NOT update. I've tried doing one at a time that doesn't seem to work. I haven't downloaded out of the ordinary recently, so I don’t know what’s going on. Any suggestions?
Which updates aren't installing?
You could try downloading the standalone installers from the MS site. I've had the occasional update fail to install through Windows update but installs fine using its own installer.
Trying to install…
Security Update for Microsoft. NET Framework & Security Update for Microsoft Office…
You have a few different options when it comes to standalone installers.
1) Google each individual KB and download from the MS site.
2) Dr. Windows Update Pack Windows 7 Update Pack by DrWindows - November 2015
3) .NET framework slim installer [Slim] .NET Framework 4.6.1 Full x86/x64 (12-1-2015) - Installer Repacks - WinCert.net Forums
However HelpMe7 it sounds like you're having an issue with Windows update itself.
I haven't tried this myself but it might help:

I would suggest creating a backup/image before trying any fixes.
