    Hi Mel,

    It's most likely Bits that's causing the problem. Run the following in poweshell admin:
    Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers

    See what the jobstate says...if it says error or transient something run this script as admin (save with .cmd extension)

    Code:
    @echo off
    net stop BITS
    ipconfig /flushdns
    del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr0.dat" 
    del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr1.dat" 
    net start BITS
    
    net stop wuauserv
    net start wuauserv
    Then try windows update again...

    I can't see much in the screenshot - run each line I posted in the code in a command prompt window as admin.
