[SOLVED] Security Monthly Quality Rollup Win 7 x64 updates always fail to install

[JacquelineG]

Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems updates always fail to install (error 80070057) for over a year now. Every month I hide the new KB to avoid the vicious loop of failed attempts, reconfiguration and restarts that would occur every day otherwise. I would be extremely grateful for your expert assistance in resolving this. I followed the steps on windows update forum posting instructions to the best of my ability, but I may be missing something... Please advise, and thank you in advance!

Step 2. Ran SFC Scan which found no integrity violations.
Step 3. Downloaded and successfully installed SURT (KB947821)
Step 4. Downloaded and ran SFCFix - no corruptions, no fixes. Log file is as follows:

Hello and welcome!

Please do the following:

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download attached file and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.
6. Try updates and if any fail, attach CBS.log.
