Please go to Start > Run > copy and paste the below into the Open: line

regsvr32 wups2.dll
Click OK or press Enter

Did that resolve the issue ?
If not, copy and paste the last 50 or so lines of the WindowsUpdate.log
into your reply:
Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log
Click OK

I had this same issue. Typing regsvr32 wups2.dll, and then re-downloading and
installing the updates worked. Thank you!
