Windows Update Error Code 641

[soMbadGG]

Note: Windows Update is not the only thing having trouble being successfully installed on my system, I'm also having difficulty installing/updating my display/graphics drivers, perhaps some hardware failure has occurred, how do I check and resolve this?​

Hey guys i'm having some trouble installing some windows updates.

I've tried two different updates individually, info:​

when trying to install "2018-08 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, 4.7.2 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB4345590)" It fails to install and gives me the error code 641. I also tried to seperately install "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 for Windows 7 for x64 (KB4054530)" with the same result Edit: I checked windows update history and noticed a lot of failures, more info in a seperate reply to this thread for convenience.​

Possible relevant information:​

I am also having trouble installing up to date display/graphics drivers, more info in this thread: https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/...successfully-up-date-display-graphics-drivers​

Possible things I think might help and need assistance with:
Repairing registries, I've used the registry edit feature before and am confident in using it to potentially fix this problem.
Clean installation of Direct X
Clean installation of .Net framework.
Clean installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistrebutable.​

If you need any more information about my system let me know.​

Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks,​
