wiseones,
 
I am having a hard time with a few windows updates.  I have attempted to install these manually without success.  I have also tried the update readiness tool and that didn't solve it either.
 
I have the images attached which show the problem files.
 
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Try rebooting the system and installing one by one and see how it goes.  Occasionally it happens for me but sometimes if I restart and try a set that are related (updates with similar names) or install one-by-one it works.  That's my only suggestion.

    Roll back to a system restore point prior to the updates and then manually try the updates again.

    I didn't notice an error code for the failure of the updates on the attached pictures, however, I found the below information on the Microsoft website. http://windows.microsoft....-Update-error-80073712
