Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Let's try below steps to mitigate the issue:

1.Run "Win+R", enter "services.msc" to open Service management console, search for "Windows Update and Background Intelligent Transfer Service", right-click each, and select Stop.

2.Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

and clear data under the folder as an administrator

3.Restart Windows Update Services and PC, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates to see if issue still persists.
