Please see the following article regarding your error:

Windows Update error 800f020b http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Windows-Update-error-800f020b

Only obtain driver updates you really need from the device or computer manufacturers' download page, NEVER Windows Update (i.e., hide any driver updates offered via Windows Update).
