2 solutions I seen so far are:

1. Download the media creation tool and use it to update PC; or

2. Run "services.msc"

1. Stop Windows Update service.
2. Stop Windows Management Instrumentation service
3. Delete c:\windows\system32\wbem\repository folder
4. Delete files within c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download

Restart Windows and try update again.
