Stop the Windows Update service.

Delete the Windows Update cache directory .
"Remove-Item -Recurse -Force C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" -
Restart the computer. (On one machine it required several restarts to actually get everything deleted from this directory, so keep trying if necessary.)
-
Run Windows Update manually again. It will fail almost instantly and offer to run a diagnostic tool. Download the tool and allow it to run.
-
The tool will find and fix some problems. At this point, run Windows Update manually again. Windows Update worked fine at this point.
Also try this at an elevated command-prompt:
"netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie"
and reboot..
