    Hello,

    This issue has been reported by other users and may be caused by some kind of error Windows Update encountered during installation. We can clear out Windows Update and force it to reevaluate:

    Choose Start and type "cmd". Open Command Prompt as admin. Enter these lines at a time:

    net stop bits

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop appidsvc

    net stop cryptsvc

    ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old

    net start bits

    net start wuauserv

    net start appidsvc

    net start cryptsvc

    Then, close the command prompt window and restart.
