Irishtrash5 has it right, but some may not be following the instructions fully.
1. Right click Start menu > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Find windows firewall and double click
Select Start, and Manual
Now you will be able to go to control panel > windows firewall, and select "Use recommended Settings"
In my case, as I don't want to use the windows firewall, since I have my own, I have customised the firewall settings to stop it undertaking any activity.
Doing this, updating, and restarting causes Defender to start, so I had to go back and turn it off again.
This cured my update issues for now
