Yes. That would make your computer work only for a few days or weeks. You need to replace the drive in order to fully fix the issue and perform a clean install after replacing the drive.

What do you mean with making my computer work only for a few days or weeks? I could be able to install the next CU/s and/or my PC wouldn't even turn on?

Both is possible. Bad hard drives are unpredictable and can fail at any time without warning.

After installing the latest CU I was able to remove the Windows Update Cleanup files with disk cleanup although it was taking a lot of time so I closed it. I tried to open it afterwards but nothing happened. After restarting Windows I was able to open disk cleanup and it showed no Windows Update Cleanup files.
 
Yes. Because the files could have been located on the bad sectors of the drive. And could have caused this. I don't understand what more proof do you need to replace the drive. It's clearly bad. The tests confirm it as well as the fact that you are having issues. Both directly and indirectly caused by this.

But disk cleanup couldn't also delete these Windows Update Cleanup files in a new PC before installing this CU and that PC's HDD doesn't have issues like this one.

Also, according to the program I used, this PC's HDD would last until the end of the year so how can it fail at any time?
 
Because it is damaged it is no longer reliable. It can fail without warning and notice. There is no program that can accurately predict when the drive will completely fail, because this cannot be measured precisely. What can be measured is the number of bad blocks and according to that your HDD is going to fail and needs to be replaced, preferably with an SSD for better performance, if you can afford it.

Ok, but that about the first part of my previous reply?

SFC is stuck due to HDD issues. There are numerous threads here where you can observe the same pattern.

Let's test the hard drive on the other computer to confirm this is not a HDD issue but a bug:


GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to check your SMART status with GSmartControl:


  • Download the portable version of GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
  • Extract the zip file to your Desktop. Open the folder gsmartcontrol-1.1.3-win64 which should be located on your Desktop and double-click gsmartcontrol.exe to launch the program.
  • Identify your drive in the list (if recognized by the tool), and hover your mouse over it.
  • You should see something called: SMART status. It will either read: Enabled, in which case you should do the following:
  • Double-click on it to bring up its window (usually you'll find your drive by its size or its brand name);
  • Go to the Self-Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
  • Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply or take a screenshot;
  • Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply;
  • Please note: If the SMART Status reads: Unsupported, stop and let me know.
