Still getting the same error after chkdsk /f and this; & after the windows update update.

This can be triggered by some pretty obscure software apparently; not sure how this guy figured his problem out but here is an example from the above link:

"I figured it out. It was the preinstalled Intel RAID storage manager software.
I uinstalled it, and Windows Update worked."

FRST logs

Good to see that you have sorted the update problem - good find.

I've never been able to get 7z to work on any of my laptops, but when a file has been compressed through the right click context menu, it will open them fine.

FRST logs are best read by those who are experienced in malware removal because a lot of what it lists can be meaningless to most.

However, the Checksur log listed a problem with Avast but FRST has Norton listed.

Which antivirus program are you using as you could have remnants of those remaining if previously used.

I was surprised to see Edge listed as well as that is a Win 10 browser.

The Additional text listed a number of problem devices - can you go Start - type devmgmt.msc and press enter then click on View/Show hidden devices to see if you have any yellow alerts, red crosses or black downward pointing arrows.

Yellow or red would denote a driver problem and the black arrow would denote something that has been disabled.

Actually the update problem persists. I notice a March rollup preview I'm thinking of trying out; though I suspect will end in the same result.

I do not use any after market anti-virus at the moment; I occasionally use windows defender; and Total Security 360; those must be remanance from when I was testing out AV software;  I've tried doing the update with on a clean boot twice. I'm definitely not using Edge; I have intentionally disabled a number of drivers and services; There is only one unknown device (yellow) whos status says unknown, but in its properties shows as on Intel(R) ICH10R LPC Interface Controller - 3A16; When trying to install a driver it says it finds ATK0110 APCI UTILITY; tries to install a driver and gives an error "System cannot find the file specified." Perhaps this is the problem.... hmm OH I SEE! the driver is in windows update waiting to be installed, I'll give it a shot.

I have disabled "high definition Audio Controller" for my video card, "PC Speaker," and "Intel(R) 82802 Firmware Hub Device" as a security measure, with its connections to the "Intel Manageability engine." I've learned that onboard speakers can be used as a listening device in reverse. And there is so much security that goes into the firmware hub I was wondering about it; much like Intel ME which is a widely known backdoor built into the motherboard itself libreboot.org/faq.html#intelme. Thankfully ME is disabled on my PC. Disabling the firmware hub had zero ill effect on the windows environment and performance. Left me kind of shocked how much bloatware they add to systems that have no real purpose or for the Windows environment and end user. I had installed last months rollup patch without a hitch with it disabled as well.  I've also disabled/removed many typically unused hard drive drivers via autoruns; brother, VIA, RAID drivers and others... as I am not using raid; and these third party drivers were severely limiting the speed of my computer; I did this long after the updates were already failing.

I blv this is the same firmware hub on my motherboard; though it came out 8 years before my motherboard was manufactured. My driver is "Intel(R) 82802 Firmware Hub Device" http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/66110/INTEL/82802AB.html

The security for original was so tight they it actually had jumper pins to disable flashing at the hardware level. You can read about it in the datasheet if it interests you.
