ERROR_NO_LOG_SPACE
System could not allocate the required space in a registry log.
Try and free up some space on the drive where the Operating System is
installed and then try Windows Update again.

If space is not the problem, then your file could be corrupted.

Click Start, select Run, type in: services.msc
then press enter
Now look for the Automatic Updates Service, right click it and choose to
stop

Click Start, select Run, type in: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
then press enter
Open the Datastore folder and delete its contents.

NB: If in doubt, cut and paste the contents of the datastore folder to
another location so that you can copy contents back if required.

Click Start, select Run, type in: type services.msc
then press enter
Now look again for the Automatic Update Service and choose to start

Try running the Updates again.

No guarantees, also there's a possibility that you'll lose your history of
WUs not important).
