If you've gone through all the Microsoft recommendations, try disabling your antivirus (if present) and see if that can get you through this latest update attempt.

Did you checked your Network Connection whether it is active or not. Also check your firewall whether there are exceptions for Windows Update or not.

If these do not fix the problem then you can go to this link and download the Microsoft FixIt and run that

Windows Update error 80072efe or 80072f76

See if it can fix the problem or not.
Best Of Luck............:thumbsup:
