    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Try running the System File Checker Utility Scan.

    Open the Command Prompt as Administrator.

    Run these commands one by one and click Enter for Each Command.

    sfc /scannow
    

    Once completed, restart your computer and check for Windows Updates again.

    Clear the Software Distribution folder.

    Haskell

    net stop wuauserv
    net stop bits
    net stop cryptSvc

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
    net start wuauserv
