Windows update broken/CSI Manifest All Zeros

[howdoifindthesefiles]

Hey, looks like this laptop I'm working on has some "CSI Manifest All Zeros" warnings which I'm guessing (and hoping) is why windows update is refusing to check for updates?

Please see attached for CBS.zip

As an aside, if anyone has time to explain where I'd get these files from? I couldn't find the containing KB easily in the CBS or CheckSUR log, and google was of little help except to englighten me to the fact that part of the manifest filename is a Microsoft digital signing key.

Thanks for your time.
