    The first troubleshooting option you can try is Microsoft's own Windows 10 Troubleshooter for Windows Update. In the Windows 10 Creators Update, you can find it in Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot, click Windows Update then click Run the troubleshooter.

    If you are running Windows 10 Anniversary Update or an earlier version of Windows, click Start, type: troubleshooting, hit Enter then launch the Windows Update troubleshooter.

    You can run the troubleshooter a couple times to see if it helps.

    Here are some other options you can explore:

    You can also try installing the cumulative update manually:

    You can also try resetting the software distribution folder:

    Before carrying out this procedure, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don't, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive. Also, you should restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet. The easiest way to do it is to enable Airplane mode from the Action Center - press Windows key + A

    1. Press Windows Key + X on the keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu. OR open Start, type CMD, right click CMD then click Run as administrator.
    2. Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.
                          net stop wuauserv
      
      
      
                          net stop cryptSvc
      
      
      
                          net stop bits
      
      
      
                          net stop msiserver
      
    3. Now rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. You can do this by typing the following commands in the Command Prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.
                         ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
      
      
      
                         ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
      
    4. Now, let’s restart the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. Typethe following commands in the Command Prompt for this. Press the ENTER key after you type each command.
                       net start wuauserv
      
      
      
                       net start cryptSvc
      
      
      
                       net start bits
      
      
      
                       net start msiserver
      
    5. Type Exit in the Command Prompt to close it and then restart the computer.
