Windows Update Failure - Hewlett-Packard - Imaging, Other hardware - Null Print - HP Photosmart 7520 series

I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I’ve never had any problems with Windows update until recently. I have a problem with one update: "Hewlett-Packard - Imaging, Other hardware - Null Print - HP Photosmart 7520 series". Any ideas why this Windows update installation fails?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Pləase double-check that error number.

If the Component-Based Servicing (CBS) manifest is corrupted, you might receive a Error code: 0x80070490

    Would this apply to the update to 8.1 from windows 8 too as I am getting the exact error message.

    That worked.  The two phantom devices must have been my previous printer.  Thanks.

    Tried this with one error still remaining. tried to login as adminstrator at command prompt to try another fix I saw listed here. That didn't work as I have Windows 10 already and somehow it won't let me become the administrator. Help!
