when I do it through windows update it searches for the update long time and fails. when I do it through standalone installer it says update not applicable to this computer.

when I use dism it says , dism error 87.  it looks all ways blocked and still i don't know which is causing the issue.

Thanks. i just gone through cbs logs and found there is a registry key which it said not found. this registry key did not allow me to change the permission on it nor allowed to delete. i nees to export the registry add the problem key manually. i renamed the whole tree and export it. then windows update back to normal.
