Hi FlyingPhill,
Hope you've got a good memory
Appears this all started in 2012, an update failure for a Language package, further corruption also appeared in your components hive
Then i believe the update process started to use all your resources, so you turned them Off in February 2013
IF your system specs are correct 2GB RAM is NOT enough you need at least 3GB
and from what i can find about it, it was shipped with Ultimate and would have come with more than 2GB
The CBS log files you posted jump from 2013 to 2018 - looks like WU has not been running for 5 years
There have been many security updates since then and i suspect 1 of them was the reason why QB failed
Not sure what fix's you attempted back then but i'd guess it was something to do with certain files that control windows updates licencing, which is also out of date hence the server error
you could run this tool and copy/paste the output

BUT
Your best bet is a repair install NO loss of personal data.

note as you appear to be using your comp for business purposes i hope you use something like Macrium free to make images of your data externally
