Hello,

I am new to this forum and want to start out by saying thanks in advance for any help that is provided. I have been reading other posts about similar issues and have been trying for a few days to resolve this issue myself. Initially, running SURT came back with over 400 missing MUM's, but I was able to resolve this because they were only related to 12 unique KB's, which I downloaded manually and placed in the packages directory prior to running SURT.

I receive the following error in Event Viewer when trying to install either of the above listed KB's via Windows Update or manually downloading and running the .msu file.

Windows update "Security Update for Windows (KB4343900)" could not be installed because of error 2147956481 "The referenced assembly could not be found." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\windows6.1-kb4343900-x64_8acbe17ab3a57e50df6c84a4940f2933fa790468.msu" ")

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.

The two original updates that I created this post for are no longer even showing up in Windows Update.

What exactly did you have me do with these fixes? If I didn't want to have them installed, I could have easily hid them earlier and then I wouldn't be prompted anymore.

Thanks,
Mike S.
 
That's very strange as I have been focusing on SFC up until now and have done nothing regarding the updates, so I've now wanted to see what error they gave when attempted to be installed.

Also, upon checking CBS.log it looked clean to me. Can you re-run SFC?
