Code 800F0900. Windows update encountered an unknown error

[keca]

Hi,
Hope you can help.... I have the above error on windows update. It is on a Win 7 HP 64 bit machine. Strangely Windows update says that the most recent check for updates was on 27/08/2014 but that updates were installed on 04/10/2014 :confused2:

I have run Windows update troubleshooter and it fixed Service Registration is missing or corrupt but failed to fix problems installing recent updates

As requested I have also run SFC Fix and got the following report:
SFCFix version 2.4.1.0 by niemiro.

I have also attached the CBS folder as requested. There is one file i can't attach as even when zipped it is 11.3Mb! It is titled CbsPersist_20140821192720.cabView attachment 9698View attachment 9699View attachment 9700View attachment 9701

Can anyone help sorting this out. I hope I've given you the right info..if not apologies, let me know what you need.

Thanks in advance....
