when you go to Windows updates @ :
( http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp )
Just add the letter: s after http so that would become:
( https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp )
then click on Go, That will take you to nonsecure/no certificate page
accept terms and conditions, Now it will scan for Updates..
(Do Not Get Any Update/ Do Not Download nor Install Any Update Now)
(Close the Page = Then Restart Windows Updates)
Now It Will Work and You can Do Updates - download and install successfully
Good Luck
