Not sure how or why but the above REGSVR32 batch file fixed my issue
completely. Thanks again Boraxus!

OR, just download, ***save***, and then run the Fixit on this page:

How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

The system needs to be connected to the internet when run as it will
download the updating software components required to update a Windows OS.
Running it in it's Aggressive mode will do all the steps listed in the MSKB.
The Fixit applies to *both* x86 (32bit) and x64 system architecture.
