4] Unblock Windows Update using a third-party utility

This issue somewhat indicates the Windows Update page is blocked and inaccessible. In this case, you can download and run StopUpdates10 – a third-party utility.

ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(875); });

Once downloaded and installed, just run StopUpdates10 and click the Restore Windows Update button and wait for the confirmation message to appear that says Windows Update is not blocked.

Once confirmed, just close the app and check Windows Update to see if it’s been fixed and restored.

5] Perform Reset This PC, Cloud Reset or Repair Windows
