This error is due to Windows Update and/or BITS registry items missing, The above didnt work for me. However i found a fix here that works 100% for me.
Download the zip file and run the 'w10 wuauserv' registry item first press yes on everything that pops up. This method doesn't require you to do any kind of windows repair or fresh install so you don't have to hassle with backing up e.t.c. If your BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) registry item is missing then run this afterwards (w10 bits) Restart the pc and try it then.
