The Check for Updates button does not work because the third page (http://update.microsoft.com) is blocked. You have to close IE and enter MU in the start menu.

When I restored access to MU, I could click this button without any problems. Very strange by the way!

Everything looks fine so far. Maybe you skipped a step?

And importing the proxy settings of IE by proxycfg -u wasn't necessary for me too. When I did all steps I had listed in my guide, it works immediately.

I think you're right. It has resolved itself

I did everything exactly correct, have tried on 3 different installs with the same error everytime

If you did that on on 3 different installs with the same error every time, then you either missed three times a step or your systems are misconfigured generally. More information about your "3 different installs", please!

Windows XP Professional SP3 on VMware, I install 7-zip first, then Java, then .NET 4.0, then Windows Update Agent 7.6, Internet Explorer 8 is then installed (restarted after this), I then run the Restore install.cmd which successfully installs the 4 patches and the root certificates, it also successfully patches wuaueng.dll with SFC coming up saying unrecognised file (Cancel button is pressed so warning is ignored, SFC does not replace the patch) (restarted after this), POSReady.reg and TLS 1.2.reg is ran (restarted after this), then I run ProxHTTPS Cert Install and verify the certificate is installed, I replace the config with the one you provided and then run ProxHTTPSProxy_PSwitch, I then go into Internet Options and enable the TLS options in Advanced, then I add the 3 sites to the trusted sites and set them to high, I then open Windows Update and when the Security warning prompt comes up I press no and Windows Update opens showing the Keep your computer up to date screen, I press express and boom [Error number: 0x80072F78]

 

Sorry for the paragraph just the best way to explain my exact process

EDIT: I was writing the paragraph as I was completing them to make sure everything is correct

Yes I have that written in what I did

You are supposed to input PosReady keys before installing the updates, not after. It may look like the updates installed, but they actually did not properly unless you input the posready keys beforehand.

Well done! Exact description what you did. No need to apologize. I wonder why in your log window green connections exist to urls outlook.live.com and login.live.com. :dubbio:
