For me this does not install via windows update.
1. The Windows update tools shows that is needed.
2. Run the install and after several minutes it reports it is not needed.
3. Re-scan windows update this update shows it is needed.
4. repeat over and over.
Going to wait a few days and see...
Do you have the Disk that has the drivers, or do you have access to the Drive partition that they are on?
If so reinstall the drivers, after the update.
If not go here: Home - Lenovo Support (US) get the drivers you need and reinstall them.
I have found reference to this on 2 sites

I was able to install this update for Windows 8 X64 by getting it directly from MS at this URL https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48752
When the update failed I got a "Code 80073712" error...
So I ran the following commands in a elevated Command Prompt:
First I ran: Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
This was very quick about 1 minute and the result showed component store corruption.
Next I ran: DISM.exe...
Lenovo support website has the specific steps on how to restore PC to the factory default for each model.
IMHO you should use that information and restore the system.
IMHO Microsoft believes that all updates should be applied.
That being said, the only updates that I do not install are hardware up dates from Microsoft I get those from the (hardware manufacturer), and the updates that force the "upgrade" from Win 8 to Win 8.1
from a command line run the following command
shutdown.exe /f
The above command will shutdown the system and the /f will force all applications to shut down, if this works then you most likely have an application that is hanging
