If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using a Windows Update troubleshooter to fix the problem

Open the Windows Update troubleshooter by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting. Under System and Security, click Fix problems with Windows Update.

    Did you remember to stop the Windows Update service first?

    If you are using the cmd method to stop the process, as described in LanlanNguyen's answer, you will have to run the cmd as administrator.
