I had a problem a few days ago with Update messing around.

I ran sfc /scannow which completed but came back with... "could not repair some files" or something like that.

It turned out that these files had been corrupted by KB3022345 which affected Windows 7 & 8.

I found a fix on Bleepingcomputer. I can give you a pointer if any of this sounds likely to be part of your issue.

 Microsoft Update - ....
Looking at my update history that came around Jan/Feb this year.

It's still sitting my recommended updates but not an important update.

Looking at the bumpf it says:
"This update enables the Diagnostics Tracking Service in Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This tracking service collects data about functional issues in Windows."

I seem to recall Microsoft wanted feedback as to what hardware was being used for Win 7 & 8 to test Win 10. I know when that stuff was loaded on my machine it didn't run very well. I binned it.
