First of all, thank you for your help, I have found a solution. The answer is to download the update from www.catalog.update.microsoft.com and then update it from Settings > Windows Update. My current system is already 22623 now! If you have the same problem, you can refer to this method.

This is a Windows Update error. Please do the following in order to resolve:
- Click Start and start typing on your keyboard for "services.msc"
- In your search results "services.msc" should show up. Open it with a click.
- A new windows will open containing all Windows services on your system.
- Search for "Windows Update"
- Right-click the "Windows Update" and then click Stop.
Now let's clean the Windows Update temporary cache folder:
- Hold windows-key and hit "R" key together.
- A small new windows will appear.
- Type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore in this new window and click OK.
- This will open Windows Explorer on the correct location.
- Delete all contents of this folder. (Hint: Use Ctrl + A to select all files and folders)
Now we will start the Windows Update Service again:
- Switch back to the windows Services.
- Locate Windows Update.
- Right-click on it and choose Start.
If the problem still persists, you can run the System File Checker (SFC) utility. This handy in-built tool will check your filesystem.
- Click Start and start typing on your keyboard for "cmd".
- In your search results cmd should show up with an black icon.
- Right-click it and select Run as administrator.
- If you are prompted for the admin password, enter the password and click OK.
- A new completely black windwos will open. You can type commands directly into this window.
- Type sfc/scannow and press Enter.
- This process will take a long time. You can minimize this black windows and work on.
I hope this answers your question.
