Windows Update isn't downloading updates? why?
Boggin:
Try the top two for Win 8.1 9th June to see if they will download and install.

If they install then that may trigger others to download if you are missing any.

I am going to post this in here too, I found a workaround as they call it not a solution. I am going to copy and paste the article. To me this seems like it is a ply of Microsoft to get people to download win10. But my question after you read the article is how do I fix this problem, will Microsoft fix it? And do I need to turn the WIndows Modular Installer off and on each time? Article below:
Rohit, thank you for the suggestion. Your Method 1 was a point in the right direction. For anyone else experiencing this problem, the conflict was with "Windows Module Installer," which is the parent process that calls TrustedInstaller.exe. I'm not a Microsoft tech, but for my situation I recommend the following: 1) Run msconfig.exe as administrator. 2) Under Services, deselect Windows Module Installer. Apply and reboot. 3) Windows Update now runs. Download and install any updates. However, other software updates and installations may not run anymore. Therefore: 4) Leave Windows Update set NOT to check for updates automatically. 5) Run msconfig.exe again and reselect Windows Module Installer. Apply and reboot. 6) Set yourself a reminder to run Windows Update periodically by following these same steps. Note that this is a workaround, not a solution.
Boggin:
Did you try those two updates I'd suggested, with or without the Windows Module Installer disabled ?

I did try the two on that date listed under Product Windows 8.1 and they both said they were not applicable for this computer.
Boggin:
I think I was in error about one of them as one was for a 32bit system.
Can you go to Installed updates and enter KB4503276 into the top right search box to see if you have it installed ?
