When done via Windows Update, it locates, downloads and seems to install the updates (though it says installing x of 13 updates, not 15??), then right where it would either claim to be done or insist on a restart, it gives the following errors.
Code 800B0100
Code 80073712


When done via stand-alone each one claims to be "not applicable" though if that is true shouldn't Automatic Update know that and stop insisting on them???

Have tried many different solutions found on-line such as restarting PC and retrying, using the windows update troubleshooter and windows update readiness tool, running "sfc /scannow", making sure date, timezones, etc are correct and running "wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow" and using the DISM scanhealth and restorehealth, which gives "error 87". I'm sure there are a few other things I have tried which I have forgotten...


The only suggested thing I did not try was resetting the Update Components by modifying the Registry, which I know can be quite risky, but am prepared to as a last resort.
***The update readiness tool did give these errors, to which I also found no new ideas for correcting, short of registry modification.
Windows Update error 0x80073712
Cryptographic service components are not registered


The PC seems to be working just fine without these updates, but I find the constant reminder of updates mildly annoying so any further ideas would be greatly appreciated.

CBS files too large to upload; will follow posted instructions...

Do not know if CBS came through or not... SFCFix claimed some kinda of catastrophic failure and after a lengthy attempted upload of something, posted another text file reading

Re: 15 updates will not install

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Sorry for the delay. Are you still in need of assistance?

It appears part of several prior updates are corrupted and interfering with current updates. I found detailed instructions on how to go about fixing them, but I am now having fatal boot errors as well and neither startup repair nor system restore seem able to fix them. It seems the best solution is to just back-up my personal data and reinstall Windows 7, which should also fix the update problems, so I guess I will not need any help after all. Thank you, anyway, though!
