Attach a fresh copy of the file C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log
 
Sorry I don't have anything other that what I put in the last zip, do you want me to try the update again.
 
I tired to run the update again and it looks like it actually stuck last time(!!), did not prompt me for reboot and windows update says only these items.

I did include the latest logs here as well.
