Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Please start with the following.

Remove Update Manually
1. Click on the Start

button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, press enter
wusa /uninstall /KB:3061518

4. Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors.

Thank you.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had some other things come up that were more important but I'm checking into this now.

Ok, I ran a removal for that update and the other updates installed fine. Thanks for the help. Maybe sometime I'll learn how to read these logs a bit better.
