Remove Update Manually
  1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt.

FRST Registry Search
  1. Click your Start button and choose Control Panel.
  2. In the upper right corner ensure the View by: is set to Category.
  3. Select the Programs group.
  4. Click the Turn Windows features on or off link. This will bring up the Server Manager dialog.
    Note: This loads your components hive which is what we want. Please keep this dialog open while you perform the remaining steps. You can minimize it if you wish but keep it open.
  5. Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.
  6. Copy and paste KB3185278 into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
  7. When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'SearchReg.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also. Close Notepad and attach the file 'SearchReg.txt' to your next reply.
  8. You may close any remaining open windows now.

  7. Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2:
Install the oldest available update only and report the result. What KB number does it have ?
If it fails, attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

KB 3068708 installed but requires a reboot which I am reluctant to do remotely. So it may be several hours
 
No problem. We will wait on your answer.
 
OK - installed all of the remaining W7 updates; received a single error message that KB982018 failed and it says so in history. However, after rebooting it was no longer listed as an update that had not been installed. I then tried to install all of the 9 security updates. KB4493472 4474419 and 3075226 all failed

CBS.zip
 
Again, as I said in message #220:
Do not install any Windows Updates until I tell you.
