I changed your topic title to be more informative and will move your topic.

You can troubleshoot problems with installing updates

Since you windows 8.1 this will be the correct trouble shooter to download. This will fix certain updating issues, hopefully yours is one of them

This ‘could’ provide a solution - it helped me out with Microsoft Updates not working in Windows 7:

“At that point, you may have to place your HIPS on Training Mode (or simply add C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate\Handler \WuSetupV.exe to the exception list.)”
