You can't remove the entries in the Update History list.

What if I do a restore back to the checkpoint before the updates were
performed? Would the rollback make the update list back to what it was
before the updates were performed?

If you install the Update successfully it will then get rid of that failed install
in the History and overwrite it as Successful

It is going to rollback the system. So is it going to work?

Boot your system in safe mode. Goto Add remove programs and clik on the
option to list the installed updates. Select the updates that were not
installed and remove them restart the system. Good luck
