As well you could try and run pre_scan under a clean boot or in safe mode.

In normal mode.
You can make a clean boot easily with this tool.
Save Process Close to your desktop.
Make sure that you have Pre_Scan. on the desktop as well.
Right click Process close run as admin.
Select [...] Browse.
Go to the windows folder, double click it.
Then select desktop.
Right click Pre_Scan and run as admin.
See if the program will run this way.
Also, you can run the All in one tool the same way.
Just use the portable version, from here.

Try running Pre_Scan with these instructions.

Resetting Internet Explorer can sometimes help with update issues.

Or use the Browser Reset tool.

Might also be a good idea to reset all windows services to default.

Download Service repair tool to your desktop.

Allow completion -- reboot if needed.
Note: If you connect via wireless you will need to change the — WLAN AutoConfig -- to run automatic this tool will disable it.
Hit the start button type services scroll to — WLAN AutoConfig -- the then right click it select properties.
Change the startup type to automatic. -- Also make sure and start the service.

Another step to take when dealing with Updates -- Windows defender updates.

Go here and grab the latest windows defender updates.
Even if you do not use it, having this updated will often times help with updates not working for some odd reason.

Also from the link above you will find MS Fix-its for update troubleshooting.
I'd suggest running the fixes provided.
