The first step with Windows update errors is to
Stop the windows update service,
Rename the SoftwareDistribution Folder under C:\Windows to SDold
Start the windows update service
This will clear the cache of any bad updates. If you re-run the updates and they still do not work you may want to run the Windows Software Update Readiness tool, see below.

If the above does not solve your issue, the offline updater often does solve it.

Windows Update, WSUS etc. are mostly meant to keep systems operational patched. That is why you need to build images and periodically update it so that computers do not need to install 100s of patches.
It is also a valid solution to first get computer to the most recent service pack level manually if Windows Update, WSUS etc. fails
