Error: We couldn’t complete the updates, Undoing changes. Don’t turn off your computer.

Yes, try and install that manually too: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42335

If you get error 0x80071a91 when you attempt to install, download this fix first and then try again afterwards: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42372

Here's the background info on the latter: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2939087

Did not need to do the above.  All of the updates were installed.  I purposefully unchecked 19355 because I wanted to install it solo.  Rebooted.  Went to Windows update, and installed 19355.  It finished successfully and wanted to reboot.  I rebooted.  It started the install process, 30%, 35%, 45%, and then the dreaded 75%.  Just like always, it stuck for 45 minutes on 75%.  Then it said it couldn't complete it, and to please wait while it restored my system.  2 hours later, my PC is back to where I started.  All updates installed EXCEPT for 19355. The update history is blank, and of course I have done all the DSIM, etc.  Soooo, just continue to wait for MSFT fix...?  Don't think there's anything left to do?  MSFT tech wasn't any help when I called them...

I didn't reset winsock, but did click on the link you provided.  That update installed, no problem.

Try diagnosing the symptom first.  One possibility would be that your Language setting is broken.  Alt-T O, Alt-L...   Oh.  In W8 it now apparently depends on something in the Control Panel...  Ah.  But it is still the same idea as always, you put the one you want at the top of your list and you can do that using Move up or Move down.  Then to be sure that you got the EN-US download perhaps you would have to try changing your Language settings to be only  EN-US  or at least put that one on the top.  Etc. 

Note that this is a guess.  It would be more appropriate to diagnose your symptom further, e.g. using a Network Capture to see what is being requested that gets rejected.
