Before un-installing MSE, install and run the free version of MalwareBytes

https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

 

and then install and run the free version of Ccleaner

https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

 

Restart and then try to get windows updates

 

BTW:- What operating system are you using?

Also make sure your time and date are set correctly, that can screw up updating.

If you mean still install and run Malwarebytes & Ccleaner: Yes

 

In addition ensure your have the latest version of Flash Player: Version 16 0 0 305

Flash Player:

Check which version you have installed

Control Panel > Flash Player > Advanced tab

For IE-11 Version 16 0 0 305 ActiveX, for other browsers 16 0 0 305 Plug-in

 

 

Flash Player Installation

 

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

 

The latest version should install over the currently installed version, however you can

always uninstall the currently installed version, restart and then install the latest version.

 

De-select Optional offers for Google Chrome/ Google Toolbar & any other 'free' stuff.

Recent older versions of Flash Player have been exploited by some adware, so best get the latest version.

 

I'm not aware of a link between the error codes and Flash .
