I had the same problem, and was due to a proxy server issue.  At a command
prompt, just type:
proxycfg -u

After that, the updates started working with no problem!

The following table lists the command line parameters available for
use with the ProxyCfg.exe tool:

Parameter Description
========= ===========
none When no parameters are specified, the current WinHTTP
proxy settings are displayed.

? Help information is displayed.

d Specifies that WinHTTP applications access the network
directly, without a proxy.

p Specifies the proxy server. You can also specify an
optional list of servers that are accessed without a
proxy.

u Specifies that WinHTTP applications use the current
user's proxy settings for Internet Explorer. This
parameter does not work if Internet Explorer is
automatically detecting proxy settings, or if it is
using an automatic configuration URL to set the proxy
information.

i Specifies that WinHTTP applications use the current
user's proxy settings for Internet Explorer. This
only works when ProxyCfg.exe was not previously used.
If ProxyCfg.exe is installed, specify that the "u"
command line parameter use the manual settings. This
parameter does not work if Internet Explorer
automatically detects proxy settings, or if it uses
an automatic configuration URL to set the proxy
information.

Hello Michael Gora,
I don't even know if you are still on this site, it's totally off topic, I hope the moderator will forgive me, but I'm looking for my long lost cousin, who's name is also Michael Gora, lives in Germany, he is in his late 20s and his mother's name is Sabina. If you are by ANY CHANCE that M.G., please send me an email at magyarab@hotmail.com.
If you are the "wrong" Michael then sorry for the "disturbance".

greetings,
zsuzsi
