I spend some serious time on this issue as well. After failing to uninstall any of the mentioned KB (KB4570505, KB4565349, KB4566424) updates via wusa and experimenting with several versions of the task, I was eventually able to fix the problem by removing McAfee antivirus from the affected server. It has since been replaced with a competitors product but unfortunately I’m not allowed to share the name of the product here due to company policies.
