Windows 10: Windows 10 1909 Updates constantly showing as pending download and never downloading/installing

My PC is CONSTANTLY showing updates as pending download and there is no download button to click to try to get the downloads to actually download let alone install. I have contacted Microsoft 3 times now to try to fix the problem, going through several trouble shooting fixes that didn't work and now being advised after the third time that formatting the C drive is the only answer. I don't want to go down this road as this PC has already been reformatted previously and I am still getting the same problem.
