Error number: 0x80190193

I recently was working with the WindowsUpdate site to get some critical
updates from the last couple months as required by my university Cisco Clean
Access agent application. While using WU/MU, I found that my computer had
suddenly stopped downloading updates as of August 20th. When I was first
trying to get them through the website (instead of the WU App), I was getting
this error after searches would time out: 0x80072EFD.

Now, however, searches aren't timing out, they're just stopping to try after
a couple sections, returning the error given in the message title along with
the following message: "The website has encountered a problem and cannot
display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might
help you solve the problem."

I had previously taken the recommendations of both resolution possibilities
for the initial EFD error, changing internet level settings and adding
trusted sites, as well as making the resolution 2 changes. However, when I
get to the section that requires my accessing the WindowsUpdate folder/v4, I
find that my WindowsUpdate folder is actually empty, so this v4 folder can't
even be accessed.
I'm wondering if somehow WU was corrupted and either deleted or uninstalled
without my knowledge. I tried to re-install the WU agent, but it says there
is no need as I already have it. However, that folder is empty! I can
continue to use the WU Catalog to get my updates, but it seems like there
should be a way to fix this problem so that they go back to downloading and
installing automatically. If anyone has any ideas or advice on this topic,
I'd appreciate it
