Hello shaimls, welcome.

I apologize if I'm running on all the steps you have already tried, but give it a shot:

* Disable all antivirus/security software is installed on the machine. Internet Explorer can not effectively block ActiveX content in this case.

1. open Internet Explorer
2. at the top right, click on tools > Internet Options
3. click on the "Advanced" tab and click on "reset...". "all the way down
4 confirm you want to reset all settings to the factory settings
5 restart the computer

After the reboot
---

1. open Internet Explorer
2. at the top right, click on tools > Internet Options
3. click on the security"" tab.
4. click on 'Trusted Sites' chart to select
5. click on the button 'Sites '.
6. Add the following text to the list of trusted sites

http://*.windowsupdate.Microsoft.com/*
https://*.windowsupdate.Microsoft.com/*

Afterwards, click on "Ok" or "Ask" to all windows and restart the computer. Then try to update Windows.
