Windows Update throws error

As Administrator, on command line run the following commands

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

 If wuauserv gives message of Cannot restart, stopping - kill its PID and it will auto restart.
