Nothing happens after I click "Download"

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have WU set to notify but not to download.
After boot up today, I was duly notified about the new updates.
I then clicked "download" and nothing further has happened.
My internet connection is OK and I have not had problems in the past when
downloading and installing the regular Windows Defender updates.
I know I can go to the MS site and download them but I need to know why this
failure has occurred.
Anybody else had similar problems?
