Hi,

The 0x8DDD0018 error occurs when there's a problem with the necessary
services, Automatic Update and/or the Background Intelligent Transfer Service
(BITS).

Set Automatic Update service to Automatic and verify the Status is Started
and verify the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to Manual.

 Kindly try this & let me know.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, right-click on Automatic Updates and then click
Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply
5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
6. In the list of services, right-click on Background Intelligent Transfer
Service (BITS) and then click Properties.
7. In the Startup type list, select Manual and click Apply
8. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
9. Click OK.

Regards

DEVIL
