No updates installed since SP3

About 20 updates have downloaded since I installed SP3, none have installed,
nor do they show on the failed update list. SP3 seems to have installed
properly, I have not repaired or modified since installation. Any suggestion?

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
