Cannot install KB2718704- error 0x8000FFFF, cannot see the USB connections

Original Title:cannot install KB2718704 error 0x8000FFFF
Hi,
 
I cannot install the new update KB2718704 on Windows 7 x64.
I do get the error message 0x8000FFFF.
Product support did show two steps as options to solve this issue:
Step 1.
I did run Microsoft Fix it, but this didn't solve the issue.
Step 2.
Manually adjust the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, COMPONENTS.
Didn't find all three items as mentioned.
 
I do face also currently issues with USB connection where no drivers can be found for external hard disk, usb stick, photo camera etc...
On my computer I cannot see the USB connections.
In hardware management, the hardware like usb external hard disk and photo camera are visible but with a mark "!".
 
Hope somebody can help here.
 
Greetings, Jeroen

Thx for the feedback...in the meantime I did re-install Windows 7 SP1.
I had the OEM version so first I had to download the .ISO file and burn a DVD.
My issues with regard to the USB items are solved...don't see the issue of digital signature until know..still busy with many microsoft updates installation.
 
What I did try beforehand:
New drivers installation from microsoft or manufacturer, both didn't solve the issues
Microsoft Fixit didn't solve the issues.
System recoveries didn't resolve the issues
Windows repair OEM version didn't solve the issues
SFC/SCANNOW didn't find issues
Installation in clean boot didn't solve the issues....
 
Therefore after many hours I did decide to go ahead for new installation of Win7 SP1.
I have now some other issues, but  untill now I can solve these mainly by  uninstall and install again..

Use the System File Checker tool to repair corrupted or missing system files:

1. Click Start.
2. Type cmd, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open the elevated command prompt (I.e. Command prompt with administrative rights).
3. The User Account Control window should appear, be sure that the action it exhibits is correct, and then press the Continue button.
4. Type or copy paste the below command line into it without quotes:
5. "Sfc /scannow"
