I had this problem and tried everything listed including the MS Update Troubleshooter, changing the timezone and day, running Windows disk cleaner, etc. and nothing worked. I then created a new user with admin rights on the machine. After creating the new user and running Windows Update, it was successful and now updates are cleared. I have confirmed that the existing user ids on the machine show clear as well. Maybe this will work for you.
Your device is at risk because it’s out of date and missing important security and quality updates. Let’s get you back on track so Windows can run more securely. Select this button to get going:
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

2018-04-27T00:25:38+00:00 I finally have it solved. I tried going to the to the Microsoft Update Catalog and downloading the cumulative update, but it wasn't helping. What finally worked was doing a reinstall of Windows 1709 and then running the cumulative update again. It seemed to work because I was successfully able to check for updates with no errors.
