Windows 10: Update KB4532693 repeatedly fails, concurrent problem with Easy Anti Cheat and secur32.dll

Hi I am experiencing a few problems, which all seem to have started at once.


I am not absolutely certain that they are related, though it is a coincidence if nothing else. I am using Win 10 Pro.


Firstly regarding the update problem:

• Update KB4532693 is repeatedly failing to install, giving error code 0x80073712 every attempt.
• I have tried manually disabling Windows Update and BITS using Services, then deleting the update files from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, then re-initiating the update process so that a fresh download of the update is made. The failed update and error code repeated.

Secondly, the possibly unrelated issue regarding secur32.dll:

• The reason why I am citing this second issue in the same question as the first is because they began at the same time and so may somehow be related.
• I have been playing the Steam version of Halo: Master Chief Collection. All of a sudden last week, the game would not load when I tried. The game returned an error in a box headed 'Easy Anti Cheat', stating 'untrusted system file: C:\Windows\System32\secur32.dll'
• No other programs appear to be affected in this way, and I am able to use my system and all other progams without issue.
• A full scan using my antivirus software McAfee Total Protection, and also Windows Defender, returns a clean bill of health.

I would appreciate any advice on how to solve this/these issues.


Thanks

Secur32.dll

I use an encryption program egress switch to receive documents from an organisation i volunteer with.

I can't log in to this account since the last windows 10 update because secur32.dll is not installed

I am not computer literate and need a step by step guide to reinstalling secur32.dll

Kind regards

Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) "Windows Kernel Modification Detected"

* Merged

I'm unable to play any game running Easy Anti Cheat (EAC), I have a legitimate version of Windows 10 Home reinstalled TWICE and bought a key. I updated to the latest version of Windows that released today and I'm still having the same. This is literal
game-breaking and high severity issue since I can't launch or play any game running Easy Anti Cheat (EAC). I've opened two support tickets with Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) and I've got absolutely no response.

Please, help.

Regards, Naser.
