Win 7 won't update

So for a long time my Windows Update has been 'stuck'. It always shows I have these important updates:
  • Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 x64-based Systems
  • Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2871997)
  • Security Update for Windows 7 x64-based Systems (KB2872339)
  • Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2882822)

Every time I attempt to download/install them they fail to install and go back into the "Important Updates" section to be downloaded/installed again.

I don't remember the exact error message, though I can try installing again to get it.

EDIT: Ok, so each time it says 3 updates succeeded while 1 failed, the one being:
Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 x64-based Systems
Error found: Code 9C57 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

However, whenever I restart and go back to Windows Update, those 3 that it said 'succeeded' are back in there.

One thing to check is that your date and time are set correctly in Windows. LOL, I have had that issue in the past.
 
lol ok that gave me these Problems Found:

Windows Update error 0x80070057 (Not fixed)
Problems installing recent updates (Not fixed)
Problems installing recent updates (Not fixed)
Check for missing or corrupt files (Detected)
Some security settings are missing or have been changed (Fixed)
Service registration is missing or corrupt (Fixed)
 
Hate to say it, when you get into corrupted files, the chances are great your problem is unfixable short of a complete fresh install of Windows 7. I've spent many hours on several machines trying to get Windows Update to start working again, and it almost always ends up the same - either live with incomplete updates, or reinstall the OS.
