Windows 8 update wont install. Help?

So I got Windows 8 recently, and there is one update that flat out wont install. I downloaded the stand-alone version as well, and that didn't work.

It's the, "Security Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2790655)" update. Even when I try "Update and Restart" it doesn't work.

Any help is much appreciated! <3

Says, "Error(s) found: Code 80073712"

Every answer I'm finding online for it is Windows Vista and Windows 7
