Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.
6. Try updates again and attach CBS.log if any fail.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!
It worked!

I have been working with computers since 1993 (IBM OS2) and I have never had to go through anything like this - I have always been able to research any issues and resolve them myself.

What was wrong?

I'm Happy to hear that!

Package files were missing and remnants of an improperly installed update KB4503292 blocked the install from going through.
