"The error 0x800700B6 would occur due to corrupted active X control"

Re-install Windows Update files

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe

Note If you have an x64-based computer, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent20-x64.exe

Click Save in the File Download-Security Warning dialog box, and then select the
location where you want to save the file.
Double-click the file that you saved

(NB - A note from Torgeir Bakken [MVP]

Note that if it says "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is
already installed.", run the exe with the command line switch /wuforce, like
this:
WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce )
