Hi Walter E Laymon,
I think you are trying it manually but I suggest you that you should "ON" your Automatic Update. You should also need to clear temp folder of windows update. Follow this directory at the picture below:Â
Go to there and delete all. After clear that you should restart your automatic update and run the Automatic Update.Â
