BleepingComputer.com: Cannot Install any Window Update that requires a restart

I am having trouble installing any windows update that requires a restart.

Here is a view of my Windows update history


Here is the error msg



Here are my basic system specs.



Basically, every time windows tries to auto update, it downloads, installs, then says a system restart is required. It restarts, acts like it is installing and gets to Step 3 of 3, goes from like 0% to 100% complete in a matter of a few seconds, then states that the install was unsuccessful and that is must revert back to its previous configuration.

I have tried searching and doing some of the things that Windows suggests, but to no avail. I would like to start over from step zero, just so I don't miss anything.

I appreciate any help with this. I do travel and am out of contact from time to time, so I will try to post when I will travel and we I return so that the post does not go dead when I appear not to respond.

Thanks ahead of time.

Have you tried...manually installing any of these updates?

I have tried the MicroSoft FixIt app, it says it fixed problems with Windows Updated, but the updates still fail and it goes back to "Reverting Configuration" after each start up.

I have also tried downloading and manually installing updates. I have done this with IE9, and again, it fails upon the restart.

Still looking for help on this.
