Looks like it was caused my my Antivirus (McAfee). I disabled it, and the updates have now been applied...

    I have a Windows 2008 R2 server. There are 5 Windows updates sitting waiting for me to install:

    enter image description here

    ... but when I try, I get the following error message:

    enter image description here

    I have tried rebooting, installing each of these 5 updates individually, but no matter what, it always fails, with that same meaningless error message:

    Code 80070005: Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

    How to fix this?

    @MichaelHampton ...or better yet, remove it.
