    @ShankerKumar-2491
    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
    The issue usually related to the winhttp proxy setting, you may check the WindowsUpdate.log to see if there any message like proxy cannot be reached, if so, at admin cmd prompt and type:
    Netsh winhttp show proxy
    If it doesn't say direct access then type:
    Netsh winhttp reset proxy
