1. make a new account make sure its an admin account
2. go to C:\Windows\temp
3. go back and rename the temp folder to "temp2"
4.log off the new account
5.log on to ur main account and it should start downloading and everything will work
 
Doing a Google search on that code gives this address:

A MS representative says this "could be caused if Windows update components become corrupt." If the new user ID solution from Mark_1970 doesn't work, you can download Windows 10 from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and then install it.

Good luck.
