Hi,
Let's proceed.
I'm still trying to figure out about the windows update issue. Meanwhile please have this instruction to be run.

First,
CCleaner - Clear temp.

• Double click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
• On the Windows tab, under Internet Explorer, uncheck Cookies if you do not want them deleted.
  (If deleted, you will likely need to reenter your passwords at all sites where a cookie is used to recognize you when you visit).
• If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
• Click on the Options icon at the left side of the window, then click on Advanced. Untick Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours.
• Click on the Cleaner icon on the left side of the window, then click Run Cleaner to run the program.

Caution: It is not recommended that you use the Issues feature unless you are very familiar with the registry as it has been known to find legitimate items.
After CCleaner has completed its process, click Exit.

***Important Note : If you found there is no damage status on any object. Do let me know.

Next,
Delete Object(s).

• Double click on IE8 icon to run it.
• Click on Tools > Internet Options.
• Under Browsing history > Click Setting.
• Click on View Objects.
• Please have a look on any object(s) with the status of damaged.
• Delete the object(s) and click OK on the internet options windows.
• Under Browsing history > Click Delete... > Tick all > Delete
• Try again to use the windows update.

Next,
Checklist.
Please post.
