Windows 10: Trouble manually checking for Windows updates

Greetings all (smile).

I'm trying to manually update windows, and I'm receiving an error message.

"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070422)"

Help!

:)

Please provide more information so that the cause of your problem may be diagnosed.

Please restart your computer and allow 20 minutes for the system to run before uploading information required to help me investigate your problem. When examining Event Viewer log files many, not all, problems show in
the period immediately after the computer has been booted.

Please provide a copy of your System Information file. To access your System Information file select the keyboard shortcut
Win+R, type msinfo32
and click OK . Place the cursor on
System Summary. Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Click Save.
Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two
for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. Reports in normal mode preferred. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode. If the report is in a
language other than English, please state the language.

Please upload to your One Drive and share with everyone a copy of your
System log file from your Event Viewer and post a link here. Please remove any earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.

To access the System log select the keyboard shortcut Win+R, type
eventvwr.msc and press the ENTER key. From the list in the left side of the window select Windows Logs and System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and
Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do
not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do
not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.

I've been using Microsoft edge. I also tried with internet explorer 11 and still the same problem.

As for the second thing I'll go ahead and go ask at the link you provided.

 

Try running the Update troubleshooter. If you type "update trouble" into the Cortana/search box, you'll see an item entitled "Find and Fix Windows Update problems" come up that you can click and run. Another pathway: Control Panel --> Troubleshooting --> Fix problems with Windows update." If you're lucky, this will fix things; if not, there are other threads here that provide more profound fixes, most notably Windows Update - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums.
