Hi,

You may refer these steps:

Step 1:

I would suggest you to disable any security program on your computer and check if it resolves the issue.

After checking for the issue you need to re-enable the security program on your computer.

Note: Running the computer without firewall or the anti-virus software is a potential threat to the computer; make sure to enable the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the issue.

Step 2:

You are required to perform a clean boot and then try to install the updates.
