I am on Windows 7 with automatic updates. I don't know what problems you encountered, but I haven't any that stand out. I presume that I have the updates referred to, but I can't be sure.
 
For your information, I checked my update list and I don't have those. I do have a pair which looks similar: KB 2478662 and KB 2518869. My OS is 64 bit - could that explain it?
 
Those are security updates for .NET Framework. I often run into update fails with .Net Framework.
