Windows and Office Updates not working

Hi, I have Windows Update set to download and install as recommended.
I started noticing a few weeks back that MS Security essentials seemed not to be updating itself automatically.
When I go to Windows update I note that there can be several ‘important updates’ that have not been installed including MS SE ones.

I have Office Pro 2013 and this is now out of date but when I try to run updates I get an error saying something went wrong.
This thread refers: MS Office will not update, says something went wrong, not associated - Microsoft Community

Clearly something seems wrong with the updates on this machine?
A while back I had issues with MS Visual C++ not being installed, this was fixed but during the diagnosis of this I wonder if some MS Fix I ran has upset updates.
Please can someone help me fix this, thanks.
 
Try re-installing Office 2013, but during the install, select "repair".

Then try the updates.

Regards. . .
