I had the same problem & I contacted microsoft support & Tech. BRUCE sent me
the following suggestion & my problem was in Protocol internet 4. Try this,
it might just work. I had 13 updates to install, I had to try 3 times to
complete all, but they all downloaded & installed.

.. Click "Start", input "NCPA.CPL" (without quotation marks) to Start Search
bar and press "Enter".
2. Right-click the network connection and click "Properties".

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.

3. Click to highlight "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" and click
"Properties".
4. Check "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address
automatically".
5. Click "OK".
6. Click to highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click
"Properties".
7. Check "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address
automatically".
8. Click "OK".
9. Reboot the computer.
