Try these steps:

1. Run Windows Update Troubleshooter (Settings → Update & Security → Troubleshoot → Windows Update).
2. Restart your PC and router.
3. Clear update cache: stop Windows Update service, delete contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download, then restart service.
4. If still failing, download the update manually from Microsoft Update Catalog.

The error with Windows Update can be resolved by restoring your computer and verifying that you have an internet connection. Install the Windows Update Troubleshooter, clean up disk space, and turn off third-party antivirus software. Ensure that the date and time are properly adjusted, download pending updates manually, and restart Windows Update services (unless the issue has been resolved).
