Found the issue. This server was upgraded from 2008 which is causing this particular issue. The following was found in the log.

Code: 
2017-03-12 10:04:58, Error                 CSI    00000002 (F) Logged @2017/3/12:15:04:58.441 : [ml:240{120},l:238{119}]"EventAITrace:Provider Microsoft-Windows-Win32k is already installed with GUID {e7ef96be-969f-414f-97d7-3ddb7b558ccc}.

Based on info from the following link, the solution is to:

  1. Export (so you have a backup) and then delete the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers\{e7ef96be-969f-414f-97d7-3ddb7b558ccc}
  2. Reboot
  3. Reattempt Windows Update installation

Let me know if you need assistance with this.

Almost 2 hours later and still checking for updates….think we might be stuck in the same place…should I let it go on longer?
 
Interesting. I have another thread with Server 2012 with the exact same issue as you. I'll be back soon. Need to do a little digging.
 
I need to gather some more info. Please do the following.

1. Point your mouse to the lower left corner of your screen and hover there until the Start Screen icon appears. Then move your mouse on to the Start Screen and right-click and choose Command Prompt (Admin).
2. A User Account Control dialog may come up asking for approval. If it does go ahead and allow.
3. A command prompt window will open. Copy/Paste the following into the command-prompt and hit enter.
wmic qfe list brief /format:texttablewsys > "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\hotfix.txt"

4. After the command runs there will be a file on your desktop named hotfix.txt.
5. Please zip/attach this file.

Thank you.
 
Here's the contents of the hotfix.txt file:
