Cannot install updates, error code 800706F7

Question

I have 19 critical updates that cannot be processed and I get the error code 800706F7. I have tried the troubleshooter and Fix-it and neither resolved the problem. In addition, I also get from the Windows Activation Tech message that I may not be running Genuine Windows. The activation process has never completed. Also, I have IE 11 installed but cannot access it either. I just receive a fast flash on the page. I don't know if these problems are all related, or not. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit purchased on 10/2011 with everything pre-installed. I have used Mozilla firefox and Avast Internet Security from the beginning. I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installed which recently found malware and removed it. I also have CCleaner installed and recently ran it hoping it would help with these problems. Java version 8, update 25 and Adobe Flash Player 15 are also installed. I hope someone can help as I find this very frustrating and am also concerned that I am not receiving the critical updates. Thank you.

Answer 1

My computer problems turned out to be massive. I finally had to have outside assistance and re-install the operating system. I appreciate all the suggestions and assistance provided here. Thank you all who responded.

Answer 2

I think I'll be imaging my OS drive and then reverting to the 12/8/14 version, probably the easiest option at this point without reinstalling my entire OS.

Yeah. I give up. Thanks for the 11 hours out of my life I'll never get back trying to fix this ****! 

Answer 3

Of course but if I had discovered this sooner it would be a feasible response. My system restore points don't go back to 12/10/14. I am using an SSD so not a lot of room for extra restore points.

Answer 4

I totally  agree.  It is unacceptable.  Maybe MAC is the way to go.....or anything other thank Microsoft. ...

Answer 5

Have you tried a System Restore yet to prior to the update was applied?
