ta. Pressing the restart button inside windows update did seem to fix it. Weird though!
To be honest, I have so many issues these days with Windows Update that I never really expect it to fully work any more. Even worse though is the help for the error codes. You click on it and it normally never lists the error number you actually got and you end up typing it into Google anyway.
Haha, I spend my life building shit in different places and this is so true! Half the time repeatedly mashing retry works eventually.
