Browser not showing "accept" bar during update process

I'm using IE 7. Normally when doing a Windows Update or Microsoft Update,
one gets an additional bar below the address window that provides the
opportunity to accept Active-X updates or interaction ... that bar never
appears on my browser. I have numerous automatic updates waiting for
installation and whether I try to install those, or try manual updates, the
process always fails. In manual updates, I'm prompted in the browser window
to install updated (probably Active-X) software, but it always fails with an
error of 0x80070020.

See if this thread helps.

Knowing what Operating System you're running and SP
would help though:

Running XP-Professional SP2, with lots of updates missing since then (due to
this issue). Browser is 7.0.5730.11

The "FixIt" tool from Microsoft did not change anything. Have disabled
firewalls, virus checking, etc.

I believe, you should run MBAM/SAS as an additional check for
malware in their system.

A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware (SAS).
There is a free version

Try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware... (MBAM) download, update, and
perform a system scan:

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista x64 SP2) when
posting to this newsgroup.

Is this a sudden, new problem or an going one?

Did you recently have occasion to reinstall Windows? If so, why and how did
you do it?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?

You receive error 0x80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site to install updates:
