Windows 10: Updates and Store Items not Downloading

Recently my PC has started blue screening constantly, almost every 15 minutes if I’m unlucky. I had to reset windows a few months ago, and when I did anything downloaded off the store would be downloading indefinitely (pending) and never download. I recently realized that updates are doing the same thing. The windows update section of setting just says pending downloads for all updates since December. I believe all my drivers are up to date, and I’ve already tried troubleshooting via the CMD prompt to restart the updater service as well as the windows update troubleshooter. Are there any known workarounds or do I have to reset windows?
