Another option is to all of those manual :
1) Perform a clean reboot first. 2) Start a cmd box as Administrator 3) Run the following commands: net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver del /f /q “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat” del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\*.* del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\system32\catroot2\*.* del /f /q %SystemRoot%\WindowsUpdate.log net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver 4) Retry automatic updates, this will clear the Windows Update cache and the automatic updates should work again through the native interface.
Good Luck
