Hello,

Please run Windows Update troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters. See if it works.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Close Command Prompt and see if Windows Updates works then.

Let us know if this helps!
It was never going to be easy.

That also happened with my update. Same error code so thanks joeandmarg0 since I thought was just me. SYSGeeker UltraDMG.

 

Sometimes, Windows Update might not be able to check for updates automatically. Try checking for updates manually:

Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
Click on "Check for updates" to initiate the update process.
This worked for me, thank you
