    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.

    I bet that if you check the size of the file that has been downloaded it will be probably very small, indicating that it was not downloaded correctly.

    I don't think you have another computer at hand, or a friend with a USB key which may be able to download and copy it for you?  Maybe burn it to a CD or something.

    I could download it and save it to my desktop so I am confident that it is not a problem with the link itself or the file is available for download with success.

    I know this isn't a very good suggestion, but the only other option would be to challenge support and see if a technician can take control of your machine and see if they can solve the problem of internet explore.
