To fix, you must purge the catalog Windows Update as follows:

1. Make Start / RunSeize cmd then OK.
2. In the command window, type:
   net stop wuauserv then press Enter. This command stops the service Automatic Updates.
   You should see the following lines appear:
   
   

   The service Automatic Updates stops.
   Service Automatic Updates has been arrested.

3. Then enter the following command:
   ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution SoftDist.old then Enter.
4. which will result in renaming the catalog. A new catalog will be recreated by Windows Update.
5. Finally restart the service by typing:
   net start wuauserv then Enter.
6. You should see:
   

   The service Automatic Updates starts.
   The service Automatic Updates started.

The history of updates will be lost but you can again use Windows Update.
