A common problem. A google search shows several methods of deleting
the wup files and history. Also can be caused if you have shut down certain
services like BITS.

Easiest way to update is to write down the KB numbers and and download
each on separately and install.

good luck.

Hello Jessicaaolcom@discussions.microsoft.com,

Try this out, stop automatic update service rename c:\softwaredistribution
to whatever you like, start the automatic update service and connect again
to windowsupdate.com. It will recreate the folder and after it you can delete
the renamed one.

Best regards
