Hi,
I've been trying to apply the December 2017 security rollup several days w/o success.
(Toshiba Satellite i7 laptop, 64-bit OS)
The error code returned by Windows Update is:
Installation status: Failed
Error details: Code 800F0900
sfc /scannow finds corrupt files but cannot fix. Looking in the CBS log the only thing of relevance I could see (bearing in mind I am not a PC expert so what do I know of relevance anyway!) was autochk.exe. This stood out because for many months I've not been able to get this to run on boot up despite warnings of corrupt files on my PC.
I replaced the autochk.exe files in \system32 and \SysWOW64 folders with copies of a different (working) PC.
That worked and finally autochk ran and seems to have 'fixed' several issues with my PC. Nevertheless, I am still unable to apply this security update.
Whilst going in round in circles following the 'help' I have updated the sound drivers - no change. I have removed and then re-installed the sound drivers - no change.
I have downloaded and run the WindowsUpdate tool - no change. I have tried manual install of the update - no change.
Having finally landed on your helpful site, I've run SFCFix and it found 3 corrupt files, one of them being autochk.exe! It 'fixed' that. But that leaves 2 unspecified files not fixed.. the output text file is as follows:

I have BitDefender Total Security 2018 installed on my laptop, which I disabled during the Windows Update and whilst running sfc and SFCFix.
If you can help further it would be great.
The CAB log is pretty big - 97MB zipped. Here's a link to that on dropbox:

Thanks.
