Windows Update failure

[icedman]

I'm having an issue with Windows Update not completing, basic google searching tells me it is a corrupt file somewhere in the system files and I don't want to mess with that too much. Attached is a CBS file and the error code is 80070490. I've already run SFC /scannow and it hasn't fixed it.

Just realized I should probably mention that I'm running Windows 7 with SP1

Here are my CheckSUR logs

Ran sfc /scannow again, after rerunning the checksur. It detected corrupt files but couldn't fix them. Still receiving the same error code.

Here you are, hope that helps.

And it is picking up new updates now, which is good, but the logs are still detecting errors.

Since I haven't heard anything back, I'm going to assume the problem is fixed now. Here are my latest logs, and if you find anything wrong let me know, but hopefully this should be it. Thank you very much for all the hard work you do.
