Using Windows Explorer, navigate to WINDOWS\system32\Catroot2 folder
RENAME CatRoot2 to CatRoot2.old
Now open the WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution folder
Delete the *contents* of the Download and EventCache folders
Open the DataStore folder
Delete DataStore.edb
Restart the AU service from the Services console or from
Start > Run > type in
net start wuauserv

Initiate a manual visit to Windows Update via the shortcut on the Start
Menu.
If no joy, stop the AU service once more.
RENAME the SoftwareDistribution folder or, delete the CONTENTS of it,
not the folder itself.
Restart the AU service and revisit Windows Update.
Which antivirus or security suite/firewall is installed ?
