Thanks. I am attaching the log as opposed to pasting it's contents, as it's about 2mb in size.

Reboot and retry updates. If any fail, attach CBS.log.

Thank you! Windows update now works.

The problem with the fixes was, I was in an endless loop. When I would restart the computer, I would always allow Windows Update to install it's pending update, which would basically undo the fix... and also fail. Then, the OS would restart in the same state it was in before.

So I had to kill the OS with the restart button, bypassing the pending windows update. Once I did that, the fixes you created went to work at startup. The computer restarted 2 times to finalize the fix and all seems to be working properly now.

Thanks again, and happy new year!
