How this would help me with the failing updates?

This was recommended to resolve updates that are failing. If you don't think this will help I post another comment when I get back to my computer.

You can also check which update is failing right click on it and hide and see if the updates continue.

It appears that all updates are failing with the code of 8024200D, no matter if I hide some or not...

Below is what windowsudpade log error:

Please use the following methods to resolve the issue:

1. Run  System Update Readiness Tool (KB947821). It should resolve the error in most of cases.

2. This may be due to a pre-release version of the RSAT tools being installed on the system. To alleviate this failure, do the following:

    Uninstall the pre-release RSAT tools
    Reboot the system
    Install the release version of the RSAT tools (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en)
    Reinstall SP1.

3. Run a remove package command for offending package identified in the CBS log or in the system event log.

I've already tried #1 -- it runs, but the subsequent updates fail.

And I don't use the RSAT tool
