Hi. . .
The lone dump listed Zone Alarm as the probable cause.
I suggest that you make sure you have the most recent version installed or better yet - uninstall it.
Uninstallers (removal tools) for common Windows antivirus software—ESET Knowledgebase
It is very likely that Zone Alarm's firewall is preventing the Windows Updates from installing.
I also think that you'll find the system much more "fluid" after the removal of Zone Alarm.
