You can try -

• Restart your Timer service before you run config wizard."Run As Administrator" on the Products Configuration Wizard.
• Make sure no other user, other than SharePoint managed accounts, have dbowner permissions for the SharePoint databases. - https://sharepointgotchas.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/postsetupconfigurationtaskexception-was-thrown-when-installing-sp1/
• Reboot after CU installed and disable the User Account Control for you service accounts.- http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/SharePoint-2010-June-2010-Cumulative-Update-installation-failed.aspx
• You can try using powershell -

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
