Sentinel One, but we have it installed on many systems and don't experience the same issue.
 
I've seen a similar issue with Avast that's causing the same issue on just one server. So I would suggest to remove Sentinel One to see if the NetSetupSvc service can be started.

Code: 
sc start NetSetupSvc
wait a few seconds and run the following:
Code: 
sc query NetSetupSvc

Sentinel one was completely uninstalled, or just disabled?

Please run the following command again and post Services.txt.
Code: 
WMIC SERVICE GET caption, name, startmode, state > "%userprofile%\desktop\services.txt"
 
I disabled it. Trying to avoid completely ripping it out for the moment. Retrying the install now.

Interestingly I saw another thread where you helped someone with the same issue.

After fully removing AV the update was still failing. I found and ran the following code to purge the update cache, re-downloaded and installed updates, and it worked!

Code: 
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

del /f /q “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat”
del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\system32\catroot2\*.*
del /f /q %SystemRoot%\WindowsUpdate.log

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Thanks for your help on this one @Maxstar.
 
Thanks for sharing the solution for this case... (y)

It seems it was related to the qmgr*.dat files only, and that could explain why the service "NetSetupSvc" couldn't be started.
