Took me different approaches until I figured out the solution for this error...

I turned off the Real Time Protection in Windows Defender... after that it worked immediately.

if your internet connection gets cut off even for a small time , you may experience a break in download.

I doubt it. BITS is supposed to handle that. You can check if you have some downloads in progress in an Administrator: Command Prompt (aka elevated cmd window) with:

bitsadmin /list /allusers
