It also happened with me but I got rid of that.
You can also try what I did. The things that I did are:
1. Checking your network.

3. Go to C drive > Windows Folder > Software Distribution and delete the files inside the download folder. Once you did it, try checking for updates (Its very much safe to delete the folder).
4. Last but not the least, leave the insider program and rejoin. You might have to reset your PC.
