Windows 10: WU ignores Intel Corporation - SoftwareComponent - 2.7.100.2 update

Here's what I see...





...so when I click 'Install Now', 0.001 seconds later it is supposedly finished.

I look at my Installed Updates/Drivers and I see this...





That was fast. So I looked at my Reliability History and I see many multiple times of this drivers' failed attempts at updating...





I try Intels' Driver and Support Assistant but its website says "there's something wrong".
I've configured my Startups and System Configurations to fully run, still the update refuses to...update.
Never had a problem with updating before.
I Bing-ed the update and wound up at the Microsoft Update catalog and saw the update...several of the same one.





So close yet so far. What should I do? *Sad
