Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Error 1053 indicates that service didn't start in expected time.

You can check if the windows update service dependency is runnin normally when this issue happens.

Meanwhil, in Azure environment, you can try Windows Update Management on Azure Portal for another workaround.
