I attach two logs from last night and also this morning. Last night when I did this procedure I was not connected to the internet.
Looking at the worst case scenario I will have to clean install but this is a very time consuming process and all these errors may happen again on a fresh pc. I do not want to do this now and not on two computers.
In the meantime is there any way of manually finding out which updates are missing and manually installing them? Also is there a facility to get email messages for new updates. This is a far from ideal solution but I am only looking at a temporary measures while this problem may or may not be resolved.
meridius21,
Thanks for the windowsupdate.logs!
copy and paste below into your URL/Address Bar

The results should be a popup file, if it appears, cancel the download and run the batch file below and try win update again. If it doesn't then your AV/Firewall/ect is blocking WU

I have followed all your instructions and same result. I will have to look into AV issues and get back to this post with an update...
Couple more things to try:
Run the network troubleshooter
Right-click the Network or icon in the notification area, and then select Troubleshoot problems.
Follow the steps in the wizard to diagnose and resolve your network problems.
Run Windows Update again.
If still not working:
Run Troubleshooter for Windows 7 Try running Windows Update again
Still not working
I'd Repair install follow post #5
There has been a positive development but I am holding my breath...
I uninstalled the AV, tried Windows Update and got error code of 8024402F.
Then I reinstalled the AV and tried Windows Update and it reports "Windows is up to date".
I ran WindowsUpdate.diagcab twice. It says "Windows Update error 0x80070003 not fixed" but the troubleshooting report says it's OK (see attached).
The other problem I am getting after the AV reinstall is in Firefox where each page I try to get into says "Your connection is not secure". I will need to look into this further.
This appears to have righted itself on restart.The other problem I am getting after the AV reinstall is in Firefox where each page I try to get into says "Your connection is not secure". I will need to look into this further.
AWESOME!
Your other computer will most likely have the same fix.
Glad to be able to assist you in resolving your issue. I very much enjoy working with Win Update issues, as it's quite often, not a simple fix, and a learning experience each and every day!
I had the same message on FF a few weeks ago when Quantum was rendering blank tabs, or freezing. I have crash reports, etc. enabled to upload to Mozilla. Obviously Mozilla is still ironing out the bugs in Quantum, which appears to be running sweet now.
I'm a student at WCCCD, Cybrary, CareerAcademy, member of ITintheD CareerAcademy on Facebook, & in the process of beginning expert training at Sysnative, GeekU and BleepingComputers. Win Update, BSOD & Malware Removal. 65 as of March, and kickin' the kid's behinds in classes.
Yep, I spend most of the day studying and on SevenForums trying to apply what I've learned assisting others.
BTW: From experience Windows system restore, etc. is quirky, and usually when you need it, it fails. Use a third party backup. Macrium Reflect free is regularly recommended by others on SevenForums, as do I, and I also recommend AOMEI Backupper free, which I use. AOMEI has a simple GUI and I've found it easier for the not-so-tech savvy computer users. External HDDs, cheaper, larger data capacity and more secure data storage than SSDs.
Have a GREAT DAY & Happy Computing!
