I suppose if I knew everything there was to know about windows updates I
would already know how to
solve this problem wouldn't I?

Well since I don't know what this error code is I searched for something
like "Windows Update KB938371 error 80070057"
and variations of that. What else should I have searched for. Why would I
pay attention to error code 0x80073712 when it is not
the same as 80070057?

^^^What does this even mean?^^^
I scanned the Windowsupdate.log file:

I certainly don't know what that means but maybe that puts it into context.
