Alright, SFC returned a clean CBS log. Can you try to install one of the failing update, and if it fails, upload the two files below for me so I can review them?

C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

Hi Aura:

Thank you! I'm happeeeee! A whole bunch of updates installed and it says no more and I'm up to date. Yay! So thank you for that! :)

But my winsxs file is still 21.5 GB out of a 106 GB SS drive. Do I have to live with that or is there now a safe way to reduce it's size?

There is a way to reduce the size of the WinSxS folder, however this can be a double-edged blade, since if you do that, you won't be able to uninstall the current installed updates in the future.
