checked for updates at 6pm UK time and only received the CU .net framework update. had to manually go find the windows10.0-kb4530684-x64_xxxxxxxx.msu file for the CU to 18363.535. then later windows update gave me Malicious Software Removal Tool update. i ran the dism command someone posted above but what does it do? I suspect it validates the main windows files are correct.
"i ran the dism command someone posted above but what does it do?"
Maintenance tool to consolidate the WinSxS folder which contains the WU components -

I just noticed that he option to view HIDDEN files in the file explorer is gone. I have got one folder that is empty but I can't delete it. I know there are 8 hidden files and it tell me I need administrator permission to delete this folder. There does not seem to be a way to tell it I am the administrator. I really don't want to save, format the drive and then restore.

NOT gone in ribbon.If it is, close, re-open FE and check a diff folder. Are you using any 3rd Party tools ?
No problem at this level. Everything is working fine in my case.
UPDATE: @alkaufmann, Maybe you can completely power off the computer and reboot and see if the same thing happens. In that case, a process may be hogging the proper functioning of this component; or, you can use a third-party tool like Unlocker or Lockhunter to try to delete the problematic folder.

Just updated. Option to view hidden files is still there.
For me, Windows Update kept checking for updates for an hour. Had to restart and install this and the .Net update manually. Later, Windows Update worked after I clicked on "Check for Updates" and it offered me MSRT and Security Intelligence Updates which it was able to install successfully. Don't know what happened.
